The key term ‘visual connectivity’ encompasses the design concept of both the original vision of NEXIT architecten as well as of our own redesign. Our solution aims to achieve circularity by means of a demountable structure comprised of locally sourced, eco-friendly materials. The new demountable glulam structure enriches the interior experience, as the connection with the surrounding nature is now strengthened by its tree-like morphology. The new structure also adds a layer of tectonic experience to the building by means of its expressive connection details. In this way circularity and architecteral quality are no longer opposites, but rather mutually reinforcing concepts.
