Music is the shaped time (in contrast to architecture that shapes the space). Music can be experienced only with the time itself. Due to that, by definition, music has to have rhythmical structure of its own raw material (tones). Therefore, the hotel in a pine tree forest, on the coast of The Baltic Sea, has been framed as an object of wavy rhythmical levels, which, like a pine tree, dance in the wind, streaming towards the vertical.
According to the plan, the existing structure is enriched with a metal one, increasing the size of the existing room dimensions, thus satisfying the required room size regulated by the plan.

Apart from the rhythm, music can also be shaped by the melody (the arrangement of different tone pitches) and the harmony (the simultaneity of certain tone pitches).
The melody and harmony of our architecture is achieved by the attempt to visually adjust to nature and environment.
Because of that, our facade has been framed as multi-layered and ventilated, with the final workup of facade panels, which have the color of the Baltic pine tree, as well as glass panels of high reflection, depicting the pine tree forest and the sky. That is how the existing object becomes integrated into the surroundings of the wood, the sea and the vast plain.
