This isometric view shows a room with a cylindrical interior, a large truncated opening, and two narrow rectilinear windows. The exterior of this room is built from a perfect cube and is defined by a single large bevel along one edge that cuts the inner cylinder, providing a grand parabolic opening. This provides only one large point of entry and directionality with the two small windows balancing the amount of exposure from the outside.




This elevation view shows the balancing act of exposure these openings are providing particularly in directionality of light and movement — with the window angled upward designed to capture the light and the parabolic opening pointed downward, providing a stage for light and entrance.




This section view cuts directly through the parabolic opening and the opposing window. Despite the outline of the interior looking square, the shadows give insight into the curvature of the cylindrical walls. Plus, we can see how the other window appears to cut through the cylinder and direct itself to the lower one.
