Meeting space/ Visitor area The openings are small, and located up high, providing the visitor with no view outside. Once in the space, the visitor can only long to go back outside or be in a place where they are more welcomed. Sunlight is still able to seep in, yet it is a very dark and uninviting space compared to the woman's well-lit area upstairs.

Staircase Located in the centre of the study, the staircase acts as the connection between the meeting space and the private drawing space occupied by the woman. It is lit by sunlight that passes through the skylight directly above, drawing one's eye to the top space. The stairs lead up to the top space, once again symbolising this idea of self-centeredness; how every element in the study focuses on the woman herself.

Woman's private space This area is only accessible through the staircase that connects to the meeting space. It is a separated area, displaying the idea that she is only concerned with herself and prefers to be entirely on her own. She is only focused on one thing as she progresses up the staircase, being the central desk in the room where she can perform her sketching/drawing activities.

Glass panels & Openings The large glass directly opposite her table allows her to look out to seek inspiration for her drawing. It is a much brighter area due to the skylight above and number of openings.
