I have concerns about the colored translucent materials, the color balance inside will defeinitely be affected. I think it would be better to avoid these filters on incoming light so that artists can see the work in proper lighting without having to drag it outside.

It looks positively dismal inside with the dark stained ply seeming to sap any light out of the interior. I agree with Michael. Its hardly a space you would want to spend time in... or work in, due to the quality of light in the images. Polycarbonate is mildly interesting but has been done to death. Again, it would be great to show some details on how its put together. OK for a shed at the end of a garden.

The glossy wood finish on the interior is a bit of a let down. With wood finish and the tiny holes, it looks a bit like a box you would carry a pet home in from the shop. The holes are just big enough so your new rabbit doesn't suffocate. The bottom rendering has more potential then what was executed. How much did it cost to make larger holes and use a lighter finish on the plywood? An entry sequence would have also been nice, I can see a lot of dirt and mud making it's way inside. I enjoy the colored polycarbonate panels and the large sliding opening. Having worked with the material before, I wonder how the seems were sealed. We had some issues using them on a door, as you could pop an arm through the seem and open it from the inside. Dan Flavin’s work as a student…
