Description
A tall interior space constructed of cinder blocks and board-formed concrete, featuring sharply angled walls and beams. Natural light enters from high clerestory windows, illuminating the upper concrete surfaces. A wooden frame is partially visible on an upper level. Recessed square light fixtures are embedded in the dark ceiling. The space emphasizes height, material texture, and angular geometry.
