The architects explored the relationship between architecture and nature in a scarred landscape, aiming to harmonize structures with the surrounding environment. They focused on restoration rather than imposition by listening to the land's existing elements like soil, water, and trees. Their design, an 80-meter-long forest path, integrates cafes and rest areas that dissolve barriers between built and natural environments, reconnecting visitors with the natural beauty of the Goun Mountain foothills and allowing for the coexistence of human and natural worlds.
The architecture here was not designed to stand apart, but to move with the land-to form a gentle path through which nature and people might meet once again.
Instead of imposing form on the wounded terrain, we sought to listen: to the ochre-colored soil, the quiet reservoir, and the forested backdrop.
Rather than interpret the site through an urban lens, we chose to trace the shifting layers of time embedded in nature.
The first step was restoring the land, reconnecting to the reservoir, and reintroducing native trees and water elements to evoke memories of the original forest.
