CONCEPT
Stargazing makes me think about the
vastness of space, which reinforces the
feeling of being a small part of something
big. The tower is a place for both the big
and the small and it is a place that balances
on the edge between a “here” and a
“somewhere”.
The tower consists of four cubes that
frame the view or the experience of the
surroundings in four different ways.
“Here” is the hanging cube in the structure.
This cave like volume has no floor, so your
attention is drawn to the ground. You enter
the cube from a hanging stairs.
“Meeting” is the social spot in the structure.
The fireplace and the surrounding trees are
in focus.
“Shelter” is the place where you are
protected from the rain, and where you can
climbe up to the stargazing level.
“Somewhere” is the place where you can
lay down on a soft web of ropes, and gaze at
stars all year round.
