In addition to creating an object suited to its location, the architects needed to provide maximum volume with minimal cost, not an uncommon task for any architect. By providing a simple structure and reversing the placement of structure and finish, a simple yet elegant building was created. Beyond the practical and aesthetic concerns, the almost meditative space is perfectly aligned with the thinking of the Earthworks Projects, where thoughtful decisions can be made on the outcome of humans intervening with nature.
