The unobstructed space inside a shed with a striking roof is home to a school for environmental studies that uses the building itself as a lesson on sustainability.
Exemplifying restrained use of forest resources, the structure of V-forming pillars was executed with trunks of cypress trees cut down by students of the center, in combination with cedarwood frames and finishes.
