The round building, placed in the heart of the open field, is
the theatre. The building up north, parallel to the historical path into the
woods, is the office-learning pavilion and the two long thin buildings at the
left, pushed halfway into the woods, are the residences.
The theatre has been designed
as a round building in the heart
of the open field. As a result of the round form, the open space will not be forced into
a special direction but continues around the building, so the light and shadow
produce a dramatic effect on the grass. The landscape flows into the theatre
and rises up at the roof which will be the open air theatre.
The two residence buildings
are realized completely out of a wooden construction and wooden paneling.
Located half at the open field and half into the woods. Raised upon wooden
columns so the landscape flows continuously under the building. Taking the
stairs to the residence rooms must give a feeling of climbing into the trees.
The rooms have an enormous transparent exposure into the landscape. Besides of
that , the floor plans of each room can be created the way every visitor likes
to live and stay.
The office-learning pavilion
is detailed in steel and glass. It must give the visitors a feeling of studying
outside in the woods.
