Silhouetted Borneo Longhouse in Ibagué Lobby

Blue hour light pours through the wet glass, turning the interior of a ribbed concrete lobby into a cool, gray space. Rain streaks the windows, blurring the city of Ibagué outside. Centered in the room stands a carved wooden longhouse from Borneo, its intricate gable and roof ridges forming a sharp, dark silhouette against the dim glow. Water droplets rest on the glass, distorting the light. The structure rests on the polished floor, its traditional timber details against the industrial concrete ribs above. A Dutch angle tilt leans the room, making the roofline cut diagonally across the frame. The wet season air hangs heavy, visible only in the condensation on the windowpane edges.
