The topography guides people through and around the building. It produces pockets and slopes that accomodate different activities.

Ground floor plan: The topographical landscape transgresses the built mass.. It corresponds to the surface of the sea not symbolically but by altering references, unifying the building with the context and producing localities within a larger coherent field.

 

The physical model illustrates how the building's form has been carefully carved out of a monolithic solid with clearly set and specific parameters.
