Rhythm is everything.
The oval that frames the entrance recurs, contracts, expands, fragments. A wall panel, a floor object, a table base: the same form at every scale, a visual pulse that moves through the space like a motif through a score.
Sound as architecture
Sound is consubstantial to the architecture: not a soundtrack added to a space, but a force that gives the space its reason for existing.
Symmetry and rupture
The plan is circular. Symmetry exists, and is broken precisely enough to generate tension. Interruptions reset the rhythm, keep the space alive.
A tactile environment
Oiled oak, warm, alive under the hand. Thick wool underfoot. Brushed metal, then chrome, sharp. The alternation between matte and polished, warm and cool, is not decorative, it is the composition.
