This design proposal is guided by the concept of bringing light into the basement level. The existing basement has low ceilings and this proposal attempts to disguise this condition. We bring in light by adding two glass volumes onto the plazas to capture the light and channel it further, just like a prism. One volume is placed in the main plaza, straddling the level change. The other prism is placed in the secondary plaza, above the existing stairs.

Another guiding concept is to extend the landscape into the basement by extending the existing terraced garden into the interior space, to create a park. Light and greenery become the focal points in the new space.
