Simple material and form with bold cut of openings to invite light to become the main player in the space. The exterior rendering is very interesting. The light has different roles in this architecture.

JURY COMMENTS
The program is laid out nicely and the material choice is very suitable for creating beautiful sun rays. It would be better if the window openings can relate more to the patterns of brick than just punctured windows. And the roof opening pattern need more reasoning.

JURY COMMENTS
The form is simple yet powerful to invite lights in this zen space. The perspectives is a little too abstract to show the intent.
