Arvo Pärt Center, Laulasmaa (in project)

Over a unitary roof that folds to adapt to the varying heights required inside the building, a series of pentagonal courtyards of different sizes and positions manage to preserve the existing trees in the dense forest around the center.

The facades, inspired in the work of the composer Arvo Pärt, function as natural light filters defined by slender circular columns; the helical tower has the same pentagonal plan of the courtyards and one can admire the sea landscape from the top.
