Darwin's Space: The dark passage, leading behind the wall, into an anchor for the cantilever outside. The passage is long, with a dim light at the entrance of the space. The darkness emphasizes the solidness around the passage and lab, implying the functionality of a heavy weight, supporting the overhang. With this the positioning of the space is made completely functional and needed in making Hawking's space possible.
The space itself, also calved out of a larger mass, is split into three different areas, by varying height of floors and ceilings. This clearly identifies the positions Darwin would undertake his daily tasks. There is no waste of time. The only light available is from a window outside. Tunnel like this window also emphasizes how deep in the space is.
This space is simple, yet efficient, connecting directly to Darwin's quote.
