Arrival Sequence

The sky continues inside.

The Idea

The entrance was treated as a moment of arrival — not simply a passage. Light, shadow, reflection, and orientation work together to create anticipation before the interior fully reveals itself.

Light used as guidance rather than illumination.
Reflection softens the transition into the interior.
Narrow beam geometry creates spatial focus.
A quiet focal point where material, glow, and movement meet.
