Light Shafts

Internal plastering has begun, and the project is nearing 60% completion.  Skylights have now been put in place to allow sunlight to penetrate from the top of the house - a way mitigate one of the main constraints of an intermediate terrace house, being lack of openings and natural light.
"Floating" staircase is used to further allow natural light to flood the house.
A worker is seen here welding together supporting beams for the trellis on the top floor.

thanks Zaeda. its not easy to be an architect, especially having to deal with tough clients. architecture as a study is wonderful, but architecture in every day life is not that glamorous, i think... ah..you should know best!!
