A building that uses nature as materials and blends with the environment
Overview
In such a unique setting with pristine landscapes and incredible views, we thought it was necessary to respect and preserve as much of the natural elements as it is architecturally possible. The design’s structure is elevated over a body of water just enough to make it like it is floating on air. Using the earth as its primary building material and opening views on all its sides, including the central patio, we can achieve a building that blends into its environment.
