One of the core ideas of the building is the connection between the interior and exterior environment through ‘glimpses in-between’. The building envelope reveals activity and movement at intervals within the space. The idea of linkage is also infused through the building – not only between exterior and interior elements, but also between internal spaces and interior elements.
Inspired by idea of a ‘beating heart’ – the central organ of the body which provides life and vitality – Hayball designed several ‘anchor points’ as a way for the occupants to connect with the building. People are drawn to light so these spaces are lit for emphasis, while backgrounds are illuminated to ‘reveal’ elements that are normally hidden.
