[design concept]
The site was situated near a line of elm trees. Even with limited budget, we felt we wanted to take advantage of the natural surroundings and allow an interplay of light and shadow, wind and leafy greenery. We aimed to allow different views of the changing seasons. The building’s façade was covered with wooden louvers matching the color of the three kinds of concrete panels. Floor to ceiling windows increased the sense of space, while the overall minimalist design achieved a subdued modernist and sensual feel.
