The main concept of this project is volume, the three volumes that were connecting with the long narrow staircase and also creating more space by shifting back. The staircase is not physically in the building, but it is enclosed within a glass wall. There are two entrances, the main entrance and another entrance on the side that allows people to go to the second and third floor. I shift back the second floor to leave a space for the balcony. Each floor is 14 feet height so on the second and third floor I use the space on top of the restroom and offices to make a reading space.
