Atrium · Mark

The mark, given depth.

Same vector as the flat gold "A" everywhere else on this site — extruded, not redrawn, and set inside a physically-refractive glass ornament. Drag to turn it.

Atrium

Gold, in glass

Drag to orbit. Auto-rotates when idle.

How it's made

Built from one real outline, not a separate model.

The extrusion runs off the same vector "A" as /atrium-mark.svg — no hand modeling, no re-tracing. three.js runs it live in your browser, self-hosted with no third-party calls, the same privacy posture as the rest of this site.

A separate study

Not the mark — an atmosphere. Real sky, real glass.

A form open to the sky is what "atrium" has always meant, architecturally. This piece takes that literally: an abstract glass form, lit not by a synthetic studio but by an actual captured sky — Kloofendal 48d Partly Cloudy, a CC0 HDRI from Poly Haven. The clouds and sun you see moving across it are real light, genuinely bent through the glass, not a texture painted on.
