The key notion of the architectural strategy is the location’s natural features and the
use of a limited material palette. The project is situated in an old “culturscape” and
special attention is paid to integrate it into its surroundings. The design is based on
simple geometrical prisms, lines and slabs composed into a complex lay-out of rooms
and functions. Critical functions and lines of communication are emphasised and the
building expresses a balance of functional efficiency and open perspectives.
