De-briefing Room
Designed for the Naval facility , This room is a perfect combination of Function meets Dual Purpose. The room is supposed to be primarily used as a Classroom for under training Cadets to prepare them for Protocols on a rig. However, its second purpose is to be used as a debriefing room when the officials show up for updates.
Using subtle, economical materials to make sure the classrooms offers no distractions all while making sure the design is worthy of an official visit.
