Description

The concept for the design focuses on the relationship with nature and makes it its signature trait. The agorà, centre of circulation flows and functional layout, is a visual filter between the outdoor nature and the interior courtyard.

The volumes, oriented and characterized according to the main trajectories of the landscape, blend harmoniously into the context. The envelope conveys a versatile image: at times defined by brise-soleils and a lively portrayal of light and shades, at times compact and massive, articulated in a dynamic composition of solids and voids. The completely wooden structure grants maximum sustainability, safety and flexibility, defining an adaptable space that can comply with ever-changing users’ needs.
