Atrium · Mark

The mark, given depth.

Same vector as the flat gold "A" everywhere else on this site — not redrawn, but traced: its outline swept as a continuous tube of solid gold. Drag to turn it.

Gold, drawn as one line

Drag to orbit. Sways on its own when idle.

How it's made

Built from one real outline, not a separate model.

It runs off the same vector "A" as /atrium-mark.svg — no hand modeling, no re-tracing. Every corner of that outline is rounded first, in two dimensions, before any geometry exists; then a circle is swept along the rounded outline like a wire bent to shape. That is why it reads as one continuous piece of gold rather than a letter with a bevelled edge. 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.
