GRAFT's ingenious idea has been to design the roof as a horizontal leaf that protects the landscape underneath with its organic shape. Thanks to a special static principle the structure rests in just two points defining a clear and repaired room. The elegant geometry of this natural shape forms a bridge between sky and landscape, a bridge which becomes part of the environment thanks to its curvature and limpidness.
Associated to the roof there is a service pavillon which fulfills different functions: it's an information desk and also a place where clients can purchase accessories. This building is integrated into the design of the roof to give a sense of continuity with the structure as a whole.
