Concealed as an organic form that spans throughout 7 stories, this project provides the students with a comfort cloud of quietness.

Intense coordination with other trades and stakeholders was vital to ensure precision and accuracy in the creation of layouts, hardware location and component labeling.

Tools for fast CNC programming, assembly and installation were developed around different users who are involved in the project at different stages.

Visual scripts are a key element in the development of highly-complex projects that demand accuracy in the delivery of hundreds of unique parts.
