我们接手一座90年代早期建筑的改建设计.对整幢大楼提供残疾者通道,除此之外,我们不得不在大楼的一头容纳一些办公室,拆除一些非法规划,我们有每平方米100美元报酬和3个月时间.
我们分析学生们不愿呆在学校是因为他们学习的场所太大,个人设备的控制和安全没有保证,如今,几乎每个人都用电脑工作；所以我们决定把设计容纳15个学生的房间辟出原来宽的一半,创造出只给7个学生的空间大小,让他们可以更简单地安排自己,更有效地取得想要的安全性.
反对者之一认为这么做减少了光线进入,但最终还是赞成了,因为它避免了光线反射在屏幕上带来的不舒服感.
由于时间和金钱的问题,为做外壳我们决定调查研究智利的水果包装行业,在那里我们发现了一些锌制板,如果它被注入膨胀的泡沫聚苯乙烯,可以变得有抗力和平滑.除了便宜,它们还被证明非常的轻（造起来简单而快速）,一装便成.
新外壳的反射能力最终以最好的方法来尊重古老的泥砖房子,因为它能让楼房瞬间消失.
