The theater of floating garden inside view

Traditionally, theaters only serve a small group of the population. If judging a book by the cover, most theaters also architecturally exempt the idea of a closed world, a place that only a few experience from the inside. WE Architects aimed to create an open house; a house for the people; a house which is as active and public from the inside as from the outside.

The architects have designed a dynamical building which creates a harmony between the coexistence of humanity and nature. The new extension will be experienced as a light roof with transparent facades, connecting all the functions of the house and acting as a pavilion in the garden. With maximal respect towards the old trees on the site, the building gently wraps around the surroundings in order to preserve as much of the original garden as possible.
