B - ACCOMMODATIONS
Horizontal glass brings daylighting into the bedrooms and is diffused by small horizontal dowels attached to the lowered soffit, assisting the ribbon windows; whose main objective is to frame intimate views for the occupants.
C - DISTRIBUTION, LAB & OFFICES
Diffused daylighting occurs through the roof of the lab research space and through high windows in the corridors and offices where light reflects off surfaces and into spaces.
