This 1:1 mock up model captures the most important geometric decision of the design-the curve edge. This not only mimics the middle island of Broadway, but also indicates the collective./shared space within the apartment. This mock up serves as a tool to understand the spatial reality of a small corner in the project and shows the possibility of an alternate reality. The 1:1 is supposed to be looked at 360 degrees, where the exterior wall is peeled layer by layer to represent how the heating system and studio wall works with one another.
