Veil Chamber

From the courtyard the chamber appears as a pale volume without hard edges. The outermost veil moves gently with the air, signalling that the architecture is soft before anyone touches it.

Each layer is separated by 1.8 metres, enough for visitors to pause between veils. The interstitial zones were treated as rooms in their own right, with sound and scent shifting at each threshold.

The innermost chamber is lined with a denser wool-mix textile that flattens the acoustics to a near-domestic intimacy.

Lighting is entirely indirect. Concealed linear fixtures wash the veils from below, so each layer glows rather than being lit. The gradient from daylight white to 2700K amber is calibrated across the five layers.

Five nested rectangles with staggered openings force a slow, indirect path. No opening aligns with the next, so the interior is never visible from the street.

All veils were cut and hemmed digitally from a single 3D model, then labelled for hanging order. The aluminium frame uses standard truss components hired locally, so only fabric travels between venues.
