The two volumes are connected together via a recess that allows a spatial relationship of the lower level to the upper, and where the ladder is situated. Is intended to eliminate all kinds of visual barriers and much means this intersection is empty, so the ladder and catwalk occupying this place materialize through light elements, steel, glass and wood, which allow direct recognition from space.
