NOTES: This workshop, constructed in reinforced concrete, was conceived as a shell that descends from above and protects the inner space. It is illuminated by natural light from above through a series of small skylights and a large central light box, which are plated in zinc and quartz, and from below by an outside glass slot at ground level. The exterior is clad in large rose-coloured marble slabs.
