The materials are authentic and speak with honesty structures : the river stone , brick floors, wood-paneled ceilings , to accommodate a subtle contrast with large windows mirrored , rational galleries and parapets.

All this added to the urbanization of the little features towering , respectful decorated and dimly lit , just to develop an atmosphere of equilibrium between the built and the natural , the new and the past , the landscape and the particular.
