Entry Description

The retreat is laid out east to west effectively shielding the opening in the forest, which is only discovered once you enter through the large sliding door from the outside couryard. The layout with entrance into a central wintergarden that separates the main part of the building from the annexe and sauna/relax provides ample space for guests and family visiting. The organisation of rooms in separate volumes provides space for different activities at the same time and the in-between spaces tells a story of a journey between these spaces and activities.
