About Solution

The house of all aims to create a functional and integrated civic space that connects with the surrounding community areas. The building's elevated design facilitates a promenade that links the various city hall spaces, and a cultural park that features the House of Culture, Library, and green areas. The Plaza Cívica serves as a vibrant gathering spot for public and cultural events, and provides event support for the nearby Auditorium.
