The isometric view details a narrow, rounded interior room largely exposed on one side, with 5 windows. Its exterior is a cube, the interior a paraboloid, both intersected by a square pyramid creating two of the square windows and a ledge space in the interior. A sphere intersects the paraboloid, creating a round opening to two circular windows, and a rectangular prism intersects the square pyramid to create the final square window. The paraboloid is placed so close to the exterior that it breaches, creating an arched doorway.




These hand sketched elevations show different potentials for which shape results in the dominant interior, and how best to represent the various shapes at play. The upper and lower left images focus on the same arrangement, with the upper focusing on the paraboloid and the lower focusing on the square pyramid. The upper right showcases the square pyramid as being the main interior space, whereas a sphere is the dominant form in the lower right sketch.




This elevation view showcases the largest square window and opens through to the second largest window, while just hinting at the smallest square window and main interior paraboloid, as though inviting the viewer to crawl into the interior from this viewpoint. The dashed lines showcase the rest of the interior form, as well as the spherical windows.




These section sketches demonstrate the amount of distance between the interior volumes and exterior openings. The shapes intersecting with the interior are long and narrow, but changing in form and angle.





The section cuts predominantly through the square pyramid, as well as the spherical shape and the paraboloid interior, focusing on the density between forms and resulting light contrasts. In the distance, we can see the rectangular prism, and arched opening through the interior room.
