RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: We wanted to create an encounter for guests visiting the office with the brand's iconic YouTube studio.
Therefore, we decided to make a three-dimensional hole in the welcome wall in front of the entrance.
The shape of the deep hole was repeatedly studied using computer graphics, and finally completed by hand by craftsmen.
