The way to organize and express the program as compact as possible is by making one big roof, hovering over the enclosed parts of the program. Underneath all the different spaces, indoor and outdoor are organized.
Everything under one roof.
The roof in itself is like a landscape: lower when it is possible, higher when needed.
Lowcost materialization is combined with strategic transparency, flexibility in the office space and sustainable solutions regarding maintenance and surroundings.
