FS: Who is the target customer for his design?

FS: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?
KA: The difference of other projects, is the use of space, integration of architectural elements and the integration of the environment to the project

FS: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?

KA: We carried out a topographical investigation, analysis of the environment and a lot of concern about the materials.

FS: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?
KA: Each project is a challenge, this, in particular, was mainly the environment (land, climatic aspect, topography etc.)

FS: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?

FS: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?
KA: Every time you design something different, you learn new things since every project carries an investigation that makes the project unique

FS: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?
KA: I really enjoy designing and building this project, I worked a lot with my clients so that they would be tied up with what they wanted.
