The long, narrow shelter is composed of three elements: white
walls, a bridge, and a glass box, the latter facing towards
the water and the nearby pier (click
for plan and section). Both the white walls and the bridge
act as path, leading one toward the glass box shelter which
projects slightly from a traditional, dry stone wall. The
architects intended the shelter to "reflect the qualities
of the island", as the white walls cut through a grass
mound, the bridge traverses a stone circle and the glass box
relates to the water beyond. In essence, through its interaction
with the earth, it becomes a miniaturized landscape in three
parts.
