Story

The project is characterized by its use of 14-meter wooden beams, which as a defining aesthetic feature. The beams create a rhythmic pattern that is both functional and visually compelling, anchoring the building within its urban context. The design embraces the natural materiality of wood, allowing it to age gracefully and blend with the surrounding environment. This approach its connection to the local landscape. The structure's openness invites natural light to penetrate deep into the interior, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that changes throughout the day.

## Design Highlights
