Skylights and large drawbridge doors open up to the landscape to let in natural light.

The timber-and-steel structure was constructed on site in the span of just a few days. The wood panels are covered with thermal insulation and a laminated timber rain screen. Artists can also expand the footprint of the structure by opening up the large shutter-like doors and turning them into outdoor terraces.
