Natural light is a central element in my philosophy, giving power to the architecture that affects the interior space and atmosphere. I believe good design is where it is not dictated to the individual how they should perceive, operate or feel in the space, but have the flexibility to explore and experience it for themselves.
This project uses natural lighting as a dynamic and ephemeral tool for expressing the quality of the space. Allowing light to enter the interior, each different space frames views of the landscape taking on its own independent nature. The retreats architecture pays homage to Mies Van der Rohe’s formulaic grid system embracing the intersection between nature & architecture through the way light can define and create new spatial perceptions.
