The building consists of two 400 m2 stories, both with square floorplans. By shifting the upper story with respect to the ground floor, an expressive composition is created. The shift creates covered terraces on the ground floor where café patrons can comfortably sit outside year-round. The shift also creates space for a footpath through an outdoor roof garden on the first floor. Inside, the nature of the Brabantse Wal is literally brought into the building. Story-high facades provide spectacular views of the surrounding forests and a patio garden at the centre of the first floor forms the “green heart”, giving visitors a close-up of the local ecology.The building consists of two 400 m2 stories, both with square floorplans.
