A 1:10 structural prototype model by APIENS ARCHITECTES for the Client Salt Storage Sheds, depicting a single structural node: two angled timber posts forming a V-shape, joined at their base via a painted acrylic column-cap connector bolted through the timber, and set into a cast plaster block. The model foregrounds the joinery logic — material transitions, bolt patterns, and the metal connector geometry — rather than the building as a whole. It reads as a construction detail or a prototype study that isolates one load-bearing assembly.
