A 1:10 interior fragment model of 'The Inverted Farm' by Bard Yersin Architectes, depicting a corner room with a large circular oculus set into a cast plaster wall and a continuous multi-light timber window wall opposite. The walls and floor slab are rendered in cast plaster, conveying a concrete texture, while the window frames and upper wall panels are built from fine balsa wood and fitted with aluminum hardware. The model foregrounds the atmospheric and material contrast between heavy concrete surfaces and the delicate timber-and-glass facade, as well as the spatial quality of light entering through the circular opening.
