The brief called for an outdoor space that could be used for short breaks, informal gatherings, and social events. It was also important that the new structure did not interfere with views or the daylight reaching the office spaces surrounding the courtyard.

Inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s work on the geodesic sphere, the design was developed and built using local resources, technical know-how, and craftsmanship. Each part of the dome structure was 3D-cut to measure from solid Swedish timber and assembled on site within a week.
