Concept Sketch
The sand dunes were selected as a very specific building site and an underground construction was created with connections above-ground according to the altitude lines, where inspiration was found in bunker buildings and the local Napoleon Castle which are absorbed by the dune landscape
The project was conveived as three separate buildings for the different functions, but an underground connection and above-ground bypass were integrated
