This developed a 2.1-meter-high bridge, using a reduced roof height of 2.33 gauges in the shop. The catwalk permits organic light to boost the visibility of the wood framework. This technique reverses the regular home focus through leaving open the wood structure that was the moment concealed and also hiding elements that were actually earlier obvious.
