THE ORIGINAL STUCTURE:

Constructed by myself, Olivia Mockert, and Jillian Robertson using particle board and a laser cutter.

CONSTRAINTS Constraints of the building included an intricate truss system and a slanted roof on the third level.

This rendering shows how the new design carefully incorporates the truss system and utilizes the large surface area of the roof by adding sky lights.
