An excersice in what is usually seen as mistakes in design decision making. Gestures that are considered wrong here are pivotal tactics, to challege visitors’ visual perception and enrich the experience with all the in-betweens that we encounter in our “undesigned” everyday lives.

The colours were selected in shades that are similar, the sizes of the steal beams’ cross sections are almost but not the same as well as the sizes of the furniture. Some details can be hardly seen.

Materials are presented as big chunks, as if they are taken back to the moment they were born - the granite to the mountain, the tile clay to the earth. Their beauty comes with infinite possibilities to take the shape of our imagination while at the same time remain part of nature.

All these happen in a garden designed for us to wander and contemplate, examine or simply stay without doing much.
