The aim was to establish a balance between the buildings and the landscape by breaking each volume down to a scale that suited the barren topography. While being functional and ergonomic, the buildings can be seen as nature observatories, with framed views from inside and outside rooms towards the landscape, draped by the ever-changing weather in the area.
