Project description
Our project is a fusion of architecture and nature, where glass wraps the spaces like a living shell, breathing with the climate. The double skin captures the sun in winter and releases coolness in summer, while the thermal inertia of concrete balances energy. Recycled wood from a nearby factory adds warmth and memory to the interior. Atriums, water, and solar panels interact with the environment, creating a habitable, sustainable ecosystem in harmony with its context.
