This project creates a cohesive atmosphere through a series of architectural moments which embrace the local environment, all with an aim to enhance your perception of, and relationship with nature. The separation of buildings on the site and the dispersion of programmed spaces created privacy by distance--even in spaces that are deemed as public.
