With this design I am attempting to have exposure to the most amount of northern light. THis so happens to create a large expance over the gynasium area, which I have thought to combat glair with manouvarable timber slats. Furthermore windows to the east and west are kept to a minimum and in which case they have been positioned low "E" glazing is used to allow the light in and reflect the heat.
In the we can perhaps more clearly see the internal spaces created with the void around the stairs, allowing dappled light from the skylights above to trickle down to the ground floor. This was also my reasoning behind the slightly skeletal frame of the staircase. A more solid staircase may have created a darker area on the ground floor.
