Initially, the group discussed what characterized the building. The first thing agreed upon was the feeling of a closed, heavy and private building with an open, airy counterpart. To represent this, a solid block was chosen for the main structure and a light, transparent element for the second part. After a site visit, it was discovered that the building’s placement in the landscape was an important part of the experience. Therefore, it was decided to let the building be a small part of the model and try to capture its relationship with the landscape and the slope down towards the waters.
