Connections: Human - Social - Spiritual
The purpose is cultivating the idea of community where all people is included connecting all the elements from horizontal to vertical planes. Including suspended areas to follow the human scale, it makes more comfortable for the habitants to stay and gather. Dividing the open plan into a series of functional and private enclosures through division panels improves acoustics and privacy.
