In the architects’ words:
"We try to create designs that offer a gentle transition with the environment, through transparency, reflections and direct connection with the outdoors. Our aim is usually to make it impossible to tell where the landscape ends and the building begins"
Ces femmes étaient juste à côté de moi en train de regarder la vitrine de ce magasin. Au fond du magasin, un miroir renvoyait leur visage.
These women were just beside me watching the window of this shop. At the back, a mirror referred their face.
