Annotation

An organic core that melts into a clearly legible and uniform shape. The translucent curtain of the house gradually tells the story and at the same time creates an intimate place for breeding giraffes. Behind the shell of the lamella facade, the life of the Rothschild's giraffe is gradually revealed to us. The facade of the pavilion tells the story of a Savannah queen who takes privacy. From the shady spaces of the multi-level façade, we gradually get to know the tallest animal in the world. Its two-storey clearly sets out the principles of the house, which shines through the wooden slats, which gradually reveal these principles to us. The organic shape, based on the needs of giraffes, protrudes from the uniform shell of the house and symbolizes the desire for a view of their surrounding.
