The multidimensional material and light experience evokes associations to Nordic nature and culture. Balconies with an exterior backlit glass layer featuring a generated wood pattern recall traditions of grain painting, and light up like a lantern in the American South’s dark night. The amorphous perforated maple ceiling illuminates the entrance hall like northern lights, and the various layers of gradually white-dotted glass railings and facades hover fairylike. The staircase to the conference center descends into a bottomless pond, and running water on the windbreak glass walls is superimposed with the renowned designer Ingegerd Råman’s broken glass ice floe.
