The Artists' Garden

"The Artists' Garden is a unique biotope that aims to promote a dialog between architecture and art," said a statement from the studio.

"[It is] a poetic space for artists and those who are passionate about art, a place where emotional responses to seeing the sea can be shared, a great central garden, with fishermen and their boats, a small creek, parasols, and a rectangular harbour."

The protected walkway will feature a graffitied ceiling raised on tapered concrete supports. It will branch off, leading deeper into the woodland in one direction and extending towards the artists' studios and museum entrance in another.

During winter, the walkway will be protected from the elements by retractable transparent curtains.

"Everyone will take the long painted canopy to access the hotel rooms, restaurants and shops, as well as the museum," said the studio.
