2.4. Rough sketch/cut

Image The building looks like a pyramid cut, but is completely adapted in the existing topography. The plantation of the Baetzberg slope has an important optical (camouflage)effect. Apart from the ecological use we also did not give in vain the name "hanging gardens of Andermatt" to our model. It is to take a direct reference to the hanging gardens of Babylon.

Over-hanging elevators bring the guests into the desired floors. The areas are optimally illuminated with sunlight. However the hall with a height of 70 and width of 55 meters is breath-taking.
