STORING
On the upper the spaces where the machinery are located, the flooring tilt downwards to the main corridor, for fabric lint to be collected more efficiently. The lint is also used as insulation
The excess timber grid structure is used for shading and Violetta’s vertical gardening. The plants pots are suspended by a grid in between the timber structure. Her growing plants attract birds and insects, thus creating their own ecosystem
