6330 Project:  WIP.  The contrast of systems gives one a sense of permanence while opening the space to the outside.  The Glass-Line provides the thermal envelope when wanted or needed while the Screen-Line provides protection against the Florida insects while allowing the space to be opened and expanded.

6330 Project WIP.  The  south half of the floating roof plane extends past the east wall with its screen vent and tapered lower edge which is flush with operable clerestory panels to allow hot air which rises to the ceiling, to roll up and out the openings with the slightest breeze.
