The way it sits on the site is the real achievement.

Visited on a cold Tuesday morning with maybe four other people there. That's the way to do it if you can.

Beautifully maintained.
Almost missed it from the street. Glad I didn't.
More restrained than the photos suggest.
Generous to the city around it.
There's a moment about two-thirds of the way through where the section opens up and you realize what the architect has been setting up the whole time.

Felt domestic in a way I wasn't expecting.

Read it like a book. Worth re-reading.
Walked around it twice trying to figure out why I liked it so much.
June 2026
Reminded me of the kind of buildings that made me want to study architecture in the first place.
May 2026
Probably my favorite of the trip.
More atmospheric than I thought concrete could ever be. I'd been wrong about a lot of things.
The site planning is half the success.
I think buildings like this are why I still get excited about architecture after all these years. Doesn't try to be loud, but says exactly what it wants to say.
