A spatial installation investigating thresholds, light, and enclosure through parametric perforation and iterative material study — moving fluidly between graphite drawing, digital modeling, and physical prototyping to produce a structure that resists singular experience in favor of exploration and perception.

Hand-rendered graphite studies develop the diamond perforation language across a dense, graduated field of geometric mark-making.

Bird's eye axonometric render reveals how curved perforated wall panels fold and intersect to form layered interior thresholds.

Wireframe and rendered axonometric studies sit side by side, tracking how digital modeling translated structural logic into spatial form.

Top-down render exposes the radial symmetry of the threshold condition and the concentrated light at the structure's centre.

Pattern iteration studies and a parametric section drawing develop the perforation system as both structural logic and graphic identity.
