situated on a main road, the elevation presented to the street is formal and conventional, while the façade facing inwards towards a park at the rear of the building appears more engaging and visually dynamic. a large green terrace is positioned in front of the restaurant which can be used for the center’s various events.

the third storey protrudes above the second, creating a sheltered external space protecting visitors from bad weather.

at ground floor level, the functions of the project are situated around a nodal point where flexible and adaptable volumes can be used individually or merged together. the center’s internal programs have been allocated different colors, defining the reception and other communal areas.
