Nature shapes more that the contour of this building. The volume sequences and subdivisions are a result of an intensive link with the topographical aspect of the proposed land. The main access level houses the entrance hall, and semi public spaces, including a chapel. All the rooms and studios are oriented towards the valleys of Bethlehem, and offer a protected loggia.The roughness of the local stone used reinforces the anchorage of the building in its soil, and corresponds in its materiality to the historic context.
