BETWEEN THE LAYERS


A literary retreat where architecture inspires the written word. Rectangular volumes, stacked like manuscripts, form multi-height spaces connected by linear elements. Solid planes create reading nooks, while open frameworks define workshop areas – each space calibrated for its purpose.

Mornings begin in quiet corners where pages turn softly. Afternoons buzz in collaboration zones as stories take shape. Evenings transform into vibrant performance spaces where words come alive. 

This is where geometry meets literature – every angle, void, and transition is composed to nurture young writers. Not just a place for stories, but a story itself, written in space and light.
