This project emphasizes a deep connection with both the natural environment and Indigenous culture, incorporating cultural elements that reflect the values of the local Indigenous communities.

One key focus for the images was to capture the warmth of the timber, which played a central role in the design. The solid wood columns were intended to evoke the surrounding forest, drawing a parallel between the structure and the trees. For the cultural aspect, we depicted a sculpted wooden door leading into the ceremonial room, intricately designed with Indigenous patterns, which was an important feature of the project.
In the aerial and forest views, we aimed to faithfully represent the natural forest environment surrounding the building. For the forest shot, we took creative liberties by including wildlife such as a deer and squirrels in the foreground, capturing the wild nature of the forest in contrast to the modern building in the background.
