sectional and plan diagrams


operable drawer/wall system can be pulled out to provide more (smaller) spaces


the operable wall can be retracted to create a double height space for aerial skills


the operable walls (50cm each in height) can be moved in segments, depending on the desirable space, increasing functionality

this sectional diagram and the plans below show how the life drawing rooms have the potential to be extended out to create a double height space for aerial skills
