The building is on the property normally home to many 17th century estates. In order to fit in with the scene of the area the building was designed to look similar to the old country estates with a new modern flare. I really enjoyed what the company came up with when designing this project, there’s just enough old mixed with new.

I particularly enjoyed the use of multiple types of stone, with the large amounts of glass. It looks like someone blew up the building and filled the missing pieces with the glass. Inside the building is just as interesting, with a full wall library and steps that look carved out of the stone. For every type of rock is a new cube on the inside forming a new space. These different cubes represent different types of buildings in the region which is just another way to connect the old country estate with the new.
