The Wall

Natural daylighting is provided to the new Cafeteria by a large expanse of glass curtainwall that runs the length of the space. Incorporation of this daylighting concept minimizes the artificial lighting required to illuminate the space. This glass wall is penetrated by a masonry colonnade that mimics the architectural expression of the existing building and begins in the same plane as the curtainwall and then eventually penetrates and breaks away from the glass appearing outside the building envelope.
