An interior spatial precedent showcasing a double-height timber atrium with slatted acoustic or wall lining and dramatic diagonal overhead structural elements that filter daylight into the core of the plan.
- What we like about this project
- The shadows cast from the overhead structure form a striking second X pattern across the lower timber wall.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical double-height volumetric atrium defined by vertical slatted timber walls, punched openings on upper and lower levels, and a diagonal timber X-frame overhead.
- Structural guess
- Timber frame construction with integrated decorative and structural diagonal X-bracing.
- Spatial scale
- Double-height vertical volume, roughly two stories tall, scaled to human habitation with a person leaning on an upper balcony rail for scale.
- Lighting
- Direct, bright daylight entering from the overhead skylights, casting sharp geometric diagonal shadow patterns across the lower slatted walls.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, serene, and geometrically rhythmic, defined by the interplay of natural timber warmth and crisp overhead daylight.
- Environmental context
- Interior residential or commercial atrium space shielded from outside elements, with sky visible only through the top glazing.
- Spatial experience
- A central vertical lightwell draws the eye upward, creating a dramatic sense of openness framed by tactile timber surfaces and interior windows.
- Composition rhythm
- Strictly symmetrical composition anchored by vertical timber slats, repeating wall apertures, and crossing structural diagonals.
