The outdoor area in front of the building is symbolically defined by two old pine trees, which were integrated into the design’s building composition as structural and space-creating elements.

This dedicated structural gesture, implemented with great care and appreciation by all parties involved in the building project, exemplifies the respect for nature and the importance of putting it first.
