"The building itself is intentionally faded out, in order to make people focus on experiencing the nature," the architects explained.
"The project is an exploration of the spatial aesthetics of contemporary oriental architecture, and is a media for the communication between people and the nature."
The building is divided into three units that extend towards the forest.

The facade is concealed behind a screen of slatted timber that helps it to blend in with the trees.
