His key ideas were:
- Close detailing to materials
- Shape supported the specific functionality-enclosed to create a sanctuary of zen and peace.
- Building is placed away from other distractions, separated from the city.
- Focused on the different senses which the building could inspire people to feel, this includes the touch sense and the sense of change of brightness.The touch sense is exhibited more clearly in his thermal baths in Vals where in some rooms the water marks on the wall where the protagonist leaned against will remain as a indication of their presence.
- Exterior facade-close connection with outside world, the glass creates separation of physical beings but at the same time allows for visual inspirations and scopes-helpful to artist and architect.
- Interior space-One open space for all professions, separate platforms for individual work whilst the occupants can still see each other visually and maybe even shout across the platforms for collaboration. The visual space will stimulate the artist and the architect and hopefully inspire them to design better.
- Passage ways-There are 3 main entrances to the building, one from ground level which is an elevator, the other two are situated on either side of the building both connected onto the buildings next to them to show the relationship between my office and other surrounding structures. The elevator will take the occupant through the dark vertical pathway where they will land on the second floor which is in dynamic contrast in terms of brightness. This sudden change of light will stimulate the visual senses.
- Site-My office will be on top of another building so it grants better site view to inspire the different professions in the firm.
