For an extension between the Alvar Aalto museum and the museum of central Finland, a proposal for an Open and transparent floating roof. The roof floats above the landscape by the support of slender pillars. A material palette of wood, steel, earthen floor, and plaster is in harmony with the quiet nature and tradition found in Alvar Aalto’s architecture.
Like a landscape, the interior feels like walking on trails in a forest clearing. Softly connecting the functions and the varying floor levels of the galleries, cafe terrace, and surrounding nature.
