The design concept is rooted in respect and understanding of the natural environment. Vegetation is cleverly used in the courtyard, and the landscape changes with the passage of time, offering various levels of diversity. The garden centers around “trees,” creating a natural oxygen bar and creating an approachable reception area under the trees.
