WAY MORE COMPLICATED THAN I THOUGHT!

After a lot more research I now have a clearer understanding of the engineering principles of gerberettes and realise that the column cannot fit so snugly into the sleeve as shown here in my digital model, because the gerberette has to pivot at this point in order for the tension rod to pull the arm down. So! Back to the drawing board!
I have now connected the office physically to the warehouse to meet the requirements of the assignment. A wall of glass, connecting to the warehouse at the southern end, wraps around the exoskeletal structure, making it a feature to be viewed from the showroom.
