In the district there is no night life, and people travel from point to point. Vast communicational artery divides district into two autonomic pieces. An intervention is needed to provide a public space and to create a city centre.

Putting main communication artery (Grunwaldzka Street) underground will create a proper place for a on ground public space. The design contribute to a quality of living and makes district people-friendly place. The location of the building will raise the prestige of the surrounding and promotion of the whole district. Prada fashion showrooms usually uses a chequerboard pattern on the floor. I decided to transfer the pattern on the eastern façade designing black cubic boxes, which also have unique functional purpose. Inside the specialroom , on the ground floor and the first floor has been provided exhibit space for outstanding collections.
