The design is set in a tranquil woodland area, focusing on connecting the built structure to the surrounding nature. The aim is to create spaces that are not only practical but also enhance the experience of being in a natural setting. This approach invites users to engage more deeply with both the architecture and the landscape, promoting a sense of harmony.

Site Organization

The layout is structured to make the most of views into the wooded surroundings, allowing light and nature to enter the building. Public areas such as a gallery, café, and terrace provide around 605 square meters of space for relaxation and socializing. Recreational offerings include camping sites, a children's playground, and facilities for basketball and tennis. This variety ensures the space can cater to a wide range of activities and visitors.

Accessibility and Use

Consideration for accessibility is a prominent aspect of the design. Features are in place to accommodate people with disabilities, ensuring everyone can enjoy the amenities. The dimensions of the structure—11 meters wide, 42.2 meters long, and 13.6 meters high—allow it to comfortably hold up to 191 individuals. This arrangement supports varied uses and experiences during busy times.

Material Considerations

Materials are thoughtfully chosen to relate to the environment. The exterior showcases wooden columns along with facade tiles in natural brown. These selections help the building connect visually with the landscape, reflecting an understanding of its context. This attention to material helps maintain a natural aesthetic that complements the location.

Environmental strategies are integrated into the design, allowing sunlight to illuminate interior spaces in winter. During warmer months, the building’s design mitigates heat exposure. This approach shows a careful response to climatic conditions, ensuring comfort throughout the seasons. The project reflects a focus on both functionality and a respectful relationship with nature, highlighting the importance of thoughtful design details.
