Playful forms a “tree house” with a central atrium, open to all sides, floating gallery with sunroof, translucent back walls, curved glass exterior wall construction, glass elements in the soil coupled with function lower energy costs, by passive use of solar energy, constant room temperature, natural daylight in all rooms, communication on all levels, flexible use of all facilities.
