Text description provided by architect.
The building is a large monolith with both natural and man-made features.
The woods and rocks that characterize the landscape represent the concept by which surfaces are shaped and measured, establishing a symbiotic nature-artifice relationship.
The plan is polygonal with a sloping roof section; the pigmented concrete cast on-site, the different vertically staggered faces, and the varying degrees of sandblasting, although complex in construction, represent a sincere and simple architecture.
A large window surface floods the interior with light and takes on the character of a reflector marking the flowing and unpredictable change of time
