The project adopts a consistent, low-saturation material palette that gives the interior and exterior spaces a calm and coherent visual character. Pale wall panels, light-colored flooring, clear glass, textured translucent glass, and refined metal details are carefully coordinated to create subtle variations within an otherwise unified environment. Instead of using color as the primary means of differentiation, the design relies on changes in transparency, surface texture, reflectivity, and shadow to define individual spaces.
Different types of glass establish distinct relationships between the building and its surroundings. Clear glazing provides uninterrupted views across the courtyards and visually extends the interior into the landscape. Textured translucent glass allows daylight to enter while diffusing exterior forms into softer silhouettes, offering both privacy and a sense of environmental connection. Solid wall surfaces provide visual stability between these transparent and translucent areas. Their combination produces a gradual transition between openness and enclosure, rather than a sharp separation between inside and outside.
Natural light is treated as an integral part of the material composition. Narrow vertical openings introduce concentrated bands of sunlight onto the walls and floors, giving direction and scale to otherwise quiet surfaces. As the sun moves, these bands shift in position and intensity, creating different spatial conditions throughout the day. Along the corridors, variations between illuminated openings and shaded surfaces reinforce depth and guide attention toward distant rooms, framed views, and landscaped courtyards.
The light-colored wall surfaces receive and redistribute daylight, while glass panels reflect fragments of vegetation, sky, and adjacent architectural elements. These reflections change according to the viewer’s position, adding visual layers to the relatively simple material system. Shadows cast by trees introduce a more irregular pattern, allowing the exterior environment to register continuously on the architectural surfaces.
At night, concealed linear lighting is integrated into the edges of floors, ceilings, and openings. Rather than functioning as a separate decorative feature, the lighting clarifies circulation, highlights changes in level, and reveals the proportions of architectural elements. The fine lines of illumination extend the daytime emphasis on edges and openings, while producing a softer and more intimate atmosphere after sunset.
