The design showcases floating plaster volumes, reflective metal panels, and expansive glazing, creating a visually striking design that plays with light, transparency, and shadow.
Drawing inspiration from the region’s history, the building reflects the rhythmic lines and gentle contours of the orchards that once flourished in the valley while also paying homage to the area's technological heritage and architectural character through its material choices.
Featuring generous outdoor spaces, shared courtyards, and a proposed rooftop restaurant, the design fosters a vibrant, community-centered living experience.
