Because of the beauty of the site and its surroundings, we have
endeavoured to make the visible impact of the facility as discreet as
possible, so that it blends into the topography without detracting from
the view.
In a format that is more 'true to nature' than construed, the emergent
part resembles a boulder of rock similar to those that make up the
surrounding countryside. When open, it provides a facility that offers
a service area for visitors and a terrace. When closed, it melts into
the countryside.
