House of Art: Stitching Concrete Volumes with an Existing Garden

Design a small arts centre in the manner of Eduardo Souto de Moura's Casa das Artes — a long concrete and granite bar slid into an existing walled garden so that the old boundary walls, the mature trees and the new building all end up on the same alignment and the intervention almost disappears. Compose a low horizontal volume with a plain concrete parapet running parallel to an old rendered garden wall, deep recessed glazing along one side, mature camellias and plane trees left untouched right against the building, gravel paths, soft overcast light, eye-level long view, 28mm lens, architectural photography, ultra photorealistic, 8K
