The outside pores and skin, the primary level of visible and tactile contact for customers, consists of curved partitions constructed with regionally sourced stone. These parts emerge from the various topography, offering structural help to the platform that homes a lot of the architectural program and is located at an elevation that enables a part of the construction to be underground, leveraging the hillside’s pure slope.
