The project as been drawn by the impact of the limit, as it was involved or vanished.

The steel structure of the building is covered by corrugated iron and polycarbonate sheets which are splited in two horizontal parts, one that symbolize the sky with slight tones of clouds while the alternance of the colours of the bottom translates the variations of the landscape.

This two continuous overlayed ribbons slightly switch into a more inflected line to set the entrance of the bowling pitch.

Emphasizing the horizon line, the building seems to be blending in with the environment.
