Farm Holiday Center

Borrowing from the natural surround, this design for an extension to the Farm Holiday Center establishes an interesting dialogue with its context.

The design attempts to establish a dialogue with its surrounding environment by borrowing from it.

The roof garden reduces visual segregation from the environment to a minimum thus rendering invisible that which is man-made to the observer viewing the buildings from the above the terrace.

The only elements emerging out of the ground are the eight roof lights which also double up as seats.

The various spaces and volumes are thus delicately inter-woven with the context but are staged at the same time.
