PROVIDER & CONTAINER

CONCEAL & REVEAL

Instead of overlapping many circles together to create light differences, this design intends to layer up different materials to create different transparency through different spaces. Therefore, people from different side will see different view. In order to maintain certain level of privacy for employees, solid material will be used for separated the public visually. The transparency level will increases as people walk toward the open work space.

The public and private group can interaction with each other in certain areas through shadows, reflections, and direct eye contact. It is mainly for reassuring the “inclusive” part but not interrupt with the “exclusive” part within this office space.
