Strong sense of geometry
Despite the rigid boundaries of the building, there is evidence of free flowing elements such as the swimming pool and the balcony spaces - symbols of human freedom?
Connection between the interior and exterior
It seems as though nature is continued inside:
- Packed earth on walkway extending out into the surrounding landscape
- Use of columns to symbolise the surrounding birch trees
Materiality
Strong contrast between nature and built form:
- Timber cladding is juxtaposed with a white exterior render
- Circulation is directed by changes in material - stone to glass to steel
- floor changes (stone to tiles to timber boarding to rugs)
All of this suggestive of a harmonious way of living between nature and man-made elements
