Balancing between old and contemporary, the design takes advantage of the existing elements, while creating contrast and balance. \u00a0The primary construction elements of all the walls, floors, roofs and embedded structure were pre-fabricated and assembled on-site in 10 days. The chosen panel system provided very accurate assembly, high thermal efficiency and a carbon neutral result.
