The design is a "fluid" organic response to topography and the immediate setting, in particular the trees, stone walling and the Erme river. Two overlapping forms create overhangs and balconies responding to light and view; positioned carefully within the defined clearing. The black Prelasti (recyclable rubber) facades, balconies and roof, recesses the building into its shadowed tree background and with climbing plants enveloping the facades, mimics and blurs the building further into its organic setting.
