Originating from the geological characteristics of the region, the concept of a greenhouse was conceived by exploiting the abundance of glazing in the architectural design to harmonise with the rich context of growth, layering, and sediment build-up.

In turn, this creates a journey of reflection and community through natural palettes, spatial connection, and tranquility as you ascend the building. Conceptually, the basement level serves as the darker foundation to the open and fertile roof terrace. The ground floor also incorporates a publicly accessible cafe, thereby encouraging engagement and enhancing the street frontage.
