GROUND TO HANDLE: A JOURNEY THROUGH NATURAL ELEMENTS

The museum’s main entrance is designed using natural materials found on site, helping the building feel connected to its surroundings. As visitors approach, the flooring subtly hints at the granite lying beneath, encouraging a sense of place and curiosity.

The entrance door is made from zinc, a strong, weather-resistant metal that gives a modern, understated look. In contrast, the handle is crafted from oak, chosen for its warm and natural feel. This mix of materials creates a welcoming first impression—when visitors touch the oak handle, it adds a comforting, human quality to the experience.

Altogether, the entrance reflects a thoughtful design that blends natural elements with a sense of warmth and respect for the local environment.
