By drawing inspiration from the natural beauty and eco-friendliness of Norway, the goal was to provide an experience of hiking in the heart of the city.
The design enables inhabitants and guests to harmonize with greenery and water elements without disrupting the topography, ecosystem, and slope of the site. The use of tall windows, glass courtyards, and mirror-clad facades enhances the integration of nature into daily life. The roof systems allow natural light in, while the pathways and balconies offer various viewpoints of trees, ponds, and masses that seamlessly blend into the landscape.
