CLOUD FORM

GROUP 1

Collectively designed group layout led to the assignment of individual clouds to each group. Designing the form, following the concept as well as considering seating, height restrictions, table use, relationship to site and other cloud forms.

The third level acts as seating and the fifth as a table element. The taller side of the cloud acts as a screen, creating a sense of enclosure within the space and pod arrangement.
