The new complex should be inserted “in place” of the hill imitating it in the shape and materials as more as possible. As the existing stone will have to be removed, and in order to have the new building as more related as possible with the location, a new quarry should be planted in the area. Excavating for the foundations and the 2 storey underground car parking will also allow to extract the material for the new building external covering.
