Designed by the Swiss architect Peter Zumthor in 2011, this building is Zumthor’s first completed building in the UK. The concept behind this building is 'hortus conclusus', a contemplative room.

Zumthor said ‘The hortus conclusus that I dream of is enclosed all around and open to the sky. Every time I imagine a garden in an architectural setting, it turns into a magical place. I think of gardens that I have seen, that I believe I have seen, that I long to see, surrounded by simple walls, columns, arcades or the façades of buildings – sheltered places of great intimacy where I want to stay for a long time.’
