The conceptual layout was conceived as several individual volumes connected via in-between spaces and a central winter garden, placed on a natural shelf in the terrain. The organisation provides a private relationship to the outdoors. Each group of rooms are done as separate volumes to achieve an additional layer of privacy, but also to enhance the room´s contact to the clearing in the forest and the contact to the outdoors in the transition spaces in between. This separation into volumes seeks to emphasize the transition between spaces and activities and tell a story of everyday journeys.
