A proposed training facility for a wood construction company employs a functional design on two levels. The ground floor is designated as workshops and machinery spaces, while the upper floor is intended for classrooms, administrative offices, and storage  spaces. A broad central corridor connects the two levels, serving as both a conduit and a communal space on the top floor. The industrial-inspired saw-tooth shed roof anchors the building within its environment, while its character lends the upper floor a distinctive style, making it an ideal space for coffee breaks, exhibitions, and educational sessions. The building is lit through north-facing skylights, and generous windows provide views of the surroundings and the workshop spaces below. The design is unique due to its functional, sustainable approach and emphasized through its use of prefabricated wood panels and a resilient charred wood facade.
