The magic of the extraordinary is found woven
throughout the tapestry of ordinary life - magic is what adds that
little extra. The original inspiration for the building's striking
profile came from a trip to Canada, the designer transfixed by the
wonderful geological staging of two rocky outcrops. Our challenge was to
draw an inspiration that shared progeny with this vision; to find a
compatibility of imagery and theme. Visiting the site, Beau visualised a
river between the two rock crags, winding and shimmering, a breakwater
against the tectonic forces pulling them apart.
To meet
extraordinary challenges, we must apply extraordinary solutions; not to
imitate a scene but reflect the sensation of witnessing it – dragging
you from waking life to dreamlike suspension. To return us to that
moment of wide-eyed awe in the face of nature…to where the ordinary
takes on a glow and wonder all of its own.
