Description
View of a tall interior space with layered walls made of cinder blocks on the lower portion and board-formed concrete above. Angular openings near the ceiling allow natural light to enter, casting light across the textured surfaces. Near the base of the wall, several red fabric panels are installed in a vertical arrangement. A square recessed light fixture is embedded in the ceiling. The structure emphasizes height and material contrast.
