Untreated larch as an economically sound building material in a nature park: this sensible basic decision was an element of the design. The expressive form comprised of circular section timbers and the combination with steel cables that form the horizontal wind bracing, followed as further form-generating contributions. “Another” form of minimalist aesthetic – not the delicate geometry that we all know, but an archaic-raw aesthetic. One that appears to transport a kind of work ethic of a more solid form, however without foregoing high-tech details.
