PROJECTS & HOSPITALITY
Two spiral staircases in the atrium organize and ease the flow of people, supporting the other staircase set east-west lengthwise. Next to it are two sets of panoramic elevators running along a brightly painted steel structural frame, contributing to its vibrant dynamic. The project’s low-cost implementation was doubtlessly due to making the best use of restoring existing structural and building conditions, with a powerful visual effect, showing off the easy coexistence of old and new. These “presences” are also seen on the roof, where a garden center includes a series of seats, lit in the evening by solar energy, along with art installations that also reiterate the shapes of stems and foliage.
