across the plot to the north-east, on the side of the hill, there is a three-storey house with a curved roof, which forms a continuation of the surrounding landscape. on the ground floor there is an open lobby with a multi-purpose space for year-round events, while upstairs visitors can dine in a casual bistro. The upper level of the building features a gourmet restaurant with wrap-around windows. construction is planned to start in 2015 and end in 2016.
