Security
Passage

The entrance is designed as an open space within the newly created enclosure, in the shape of a serene beacon of light. Three monumental doors accompany the visitor towards the entrance patio and symbolize the passing of a security border.

“Beauty adored endlessly, that will be our legacy.”

Author quotee

The interior of the entrance building feels serene and light, and a wooden integrated piece of furniture functions as the spine of the interior. This piece of furniture ends in the waiting room, of which it is part of a beautiful panorama towards the clear-zone along the endless security wall.
