The building negotiates the sloping grade of the site to allow direct entry from all four levels of the building, while maintaining a human scale and providing several accessible routes across the site. Arriving on Charles Street, students and visitors are greeted by an open building façade with dining areas spilling out onto an adjacent plaza.
By using a clover structure in organizing the residential program each patient’s room is oriented toward its own part of the landscape two sets of rooms facing the lake, and one set of rooms facing the surrounding hills.

Between the functions emerges a new collective space that is embraced by offices and bed units and populated by small patios.
The wooden Panda figure for ARCHITECTMADE is designed for BIGs Panda House at Copenhagen Zoo.
