Situated amidst mountains, farmland, and open space, the challenge is to design a building that harmonizes with its environment, rather than imposing upon it. The project tackles this challenge by embracing the concept of "bio-core" architecture, which explores how buildings can behave like living organisms, responding to their surroundings in an organic and adaptive manner.By staggering building volumes, optimizing fenestration patterns, and leveraging parametric analysis for daylighting, the design ensures minimal environmental impact while maximizing connection to nature.
