Rug Collection
An interior precedent featuring rhythmically spaced historic stone arched windows and weathered masonry walls, useful for heritage adaptive-reuse studies.
- What we like about this project
- The raw, unplastered patina of the lower stone wall contrasts sharply with the delicate muntin grid of the oversized arched windows.

- Geometry
- Linear vaulted corridor defined by a repetitive sequence of heavy stone piers and semicircular arched window openings along one wall.
- Facade system
- Internal gallery wall articulated with recessed historic window assemblies.
- Structural guess
- Load-bearing historic stone walls with heavy masonry piers.
- Spatial scale
- Generously proportioned historic corridor, roughly twelve to fifteen feet in height.
- Lighting
- Bright, diffused daylight floods in through the large multi-pane arched windows, casting soft reflections on the stone floor.
- Atmosphere
- Quiet, historical gravitas softened by bright natural daylight and organic textures.
- Environmental context
- Historic interior space with views of an exterior courtyard and neighboring brick architecture.
- Spatial experience
- Movement along the hallway is paced by the rhythmic alternation of solid masonry bays and bright window apertures.
- Composition rhythm
- Strong vertical rhythm established by stone pilasters and multi-pane arched window bays.
