Boohaven Bookhouse explores a spatial language, aiming to explore how the interior space closely integrated with the ecology of the site, which is constantly evolving with the alternation of seasons and the flow of time, like a nature-themed drama. Studying the interactions among the boundaries of space, physical activity, changes in light atmosphere, air circulation and natural scenery. Different openings, on the building skin, frame different landscapes. The alternation of indoor and outdoor allows visitors a different encounter with nature. The construction uses local building materials and crafts as much as possible to reduce the carbon footprint of the building.
