Wow, my favorite structure I've ever designed. It is a crazy grid of tunnels and a mesmerizing maze.

Such a series of elaborate shapes. No hole in the grid is the same shape.

I wanted to mimic metal. All the curves and points were designed off of a metal prototype.

The grid structure runs up and down as well as horizontal and vertical.

There is a triple allée of views through the network of corridors.

This is not your average bowl of ravioli.
