June14 Meyer-Grohbrügge & Chermayeff
The one story building uses almost the whole footprint of the site. It acts sensitive and respectful to the surrounding and creates an introverted world of its own. Light comes mainly from above except few windows on the facade.

One enters through a small slit, arriving in the middle of one big open space with suspended skylight volumes.
Those volumes extend over the roofline to protect from any neighbours view. They hover 1.3m above the floor and are closed with glass on the bottom. They lit the monospace in a intimate and magical way and keep the feeling of a connected big space. They host the more private functions as sleeping and the galery and can be closed with curtains when occupied.
The roof is resting only on the outside walls, leaving the floor empty and open.
