## Overview
Located in Latvia, the project TER.REST.TRIAL explores the interplay between the built environment and the natural landscape. This design prioritizes a relationship with the surrounding geography, emphasizing an earthy aesthetic and respect for local materials, particularly clay, which reflects Latvia’s geological characteristics.

### Architectural Concept
The design concept is built around three principal themes. First, the "Silhouette of Giving" expresses architectural forms that evoke gestures of cradling, symbolizing a connection to the earth. This is complemented by a materiality strategy that utilizes local clay and stone, promoting durability and a cohesive integration with the landscape. The arrangement of spaces is informed by topography, creating terraces that enhance engagement with natural surroundings and offer vistas of the forest and pond.

### Material Choices and Spatial Configuration
Materials are selected to reflect the project's identity, with clay serving as a significant local resource that embodies the essence of the landscape. Stone walls form a robust structural backbone, while expansive glazing enhances natural light and visual connections to the outdoors. Wood elements add warmth to communal areas, fostering intimacy and comfort.

The spatial organization includes thoughtful configurations that balance communal and private areas, ensuring flexibility for various family sizes. Dedicated therapy rooms are positioned to overlook tranquil water bodies, contributing to a calming atmosphere. The extensive use of terraces and large openings allows for a fluid transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, promoting a lifestyle that emphasizes harmony with nature.
