A R C U S ARCUS - The Serpent! How can a modern building take into account its surroundings? Following the flowing line of modern architecture, Arcus is build out of wood on site in a flexible way that relates its form and functions to the surrounding environment. The principles are simple: buildings height, width, materials, colours and details are done in a low-key expression through which the newcomer is "glued" to the nature and culture that already exists on the site. Only the buildings overall flowing form is something new that expresses the independence and age of Arcus. |
