Produced. The opening facing the firewall is outside the fire protection regulations and can be freely opened using wooden fittings. The mouth was secured. The firewall can also be used as a structural wall, providing a 360-degree free opening,

We planned to be open to the outside. The four exteriors are light wells using diffuse light, even in the enclosed site; you can always capture soft natural light inside. Also lighting. By using indirect lighting attached outside as the main lighting, light from four outsides can be seen throughout the day.
