Using the principles of matrix geometry, we place different buildings within the site. The architectural forms create a sense of constantly changing volumes, which significantly reduces the heavy feeling of mass. A detailed study of the building forms is also integrated with considerations of the façade in the forest setting, aiming to create a warm atmosphere that complements the idea of “living in a park.” The prominent cement panels on the façade highlight the differing heights of the volumes.
