The building’s location and design is a consequence of this context, where the volume wedges itself into existing built environment and opens up onto the surrounding landscape, both in plan and section.

The sculptural gives clarity in relation to both the site and the program, it creates a space of concentration and provides focus within the workshop, while the inner room connects to the landscape and creates a place in close relationship to the expases of land.

Their aging enhances the experience of the inner and outer rooms over time. This capacity for transformation makes the building durable and lasting.
