An interior precedent by Adam Khan Architects showcasing a linear timber-slat ceiling paired with a triangular gable skylight and arched openings for controlled daylighting in community spaces.
- What we like about this project
- A triangular skylight seamlessly integrates into the apex of the timber gable wall adjacent to a round porthole window.

- Geometry
- Sloped volume with a central pitched ridge, terminated by a vertical timber-clad end wall featuring a triangular gable skylight and circular window.
- Structural guess
- Timber roof framing with interior non-structural panel cladding and steel fittings.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story volume with an elevated sloped ceiling reaching peak heights at the central gable.
- Lighting
- Direct sunlight cuts across the floor from arched doorways, contrasted by soft wash from the overhead triangular gable skylight and track lighting.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and natural, driven by the rhythmic warmth of sloped timber slats and crisp cuts of daylight.
- Environmental context
- Interior institutional or community space with views to exterior daylight through arched glazing.
- Spatial experience
- Grounded sequence moving from arched openings flooded with exterior light toward a warm, compartmentalized timber core.
- Composition rhythm
- Dense parallel timber slats run lengthwise along the ceiling, contrasting against the transverse structural pitch and curved arches.
