I took a few fall photos at Microsoft the other day.

The directors of the National Malus (crab-apple) Collection invited Heatherwick Studio to develop the design of a structure called the Sitooterie for their site in Essex. Derived from the Scottish, a ’sitooterie’ is a small building in which to literally “sit oot”.

The structure is a cube punctured by over 5000 long thin windows that project from all its surfaces and lift it off the ground. The cube, which measures 2.4 x 2.4 metres, is precision-machined from 15mm anodised aluminium and the windows are 18mm square-section aluminium tubes glazed with transparent orange acrylic.

As the long thin windows all point at the exact centre of the cube, it only takes a single light source, located at this central point, to send light through every tube, causing the windows to glow orange. A small number of them also project into the cube to form seating.

The video below shows a demo of the game, The Unfinished Swan. It’s a first-person painting game set in an entirely white world. Players splatter paint to help them find their way through buildings.

The game is still in development and no release plans have been announced.
