A bridge connects the bedrooms upstairs and generates three-dimensional visible relations with all corners of the park and home. Every visitor bed room has a balcony that enables increasing the inside, however on the similar time offers refuge in a personal and intimate exterior related to the park.


The excessive diploma of transparency of the constructing, the courtyard, and the double-height balconied circulations generate a multiplicity of three-dimensional visible and bodily relations, making an attempt to dissolve and query the boundaries of the inside and exterior.
