1.IDEA.
The "Azurowiec" is an environmentally friendly building in the landscape, a manifestation of multifunctionality, ecology and social integration. Considering the existing trees and topography, the building adapts to natural barriers, at the same time, in terms of its cubist form, it constitutes a visible counterpoint in an almost forest landscape. The relatively simple shape is divided into functional halves, separated by a composition of green atriums. Using a wooden column structure and glazing, the building gives the impression of being delicate, and the numerous stairs give it dynamism, both in communication and the idea of accessibility and openness.
2.FUNCTION.
The "Azurowiec" is a hybrid building that combines a parking space with a co-working space. Between the zones there is a green atrium that wanders through the floors, gaining arrangements that reinforce the social message of the space being created. The co-working space is located favorably in relation to the cardinal directions, becoming bright and transparent. The development of the project assumes maintaining the wild character of the hill, but introducing numerous paths, facilitating communication and health-promoting walks. In front of the eastern elevation of the building, a meadow was created - a vast grassy space conducive to relaxation, and closer to the facility a small amphitheater.

An openwork is a wooden building. Wood fits very well into the existing landscape. It refers to a forest hill and gives delicacy and subtlety to the designed building, has a positive impact on the environment. It is also a material beneficial to users. It affects their well-being, productivity, creativity, and health, reducing stress. Additionally, it regulates air humidity, which has a positive effect on the microclimate in rooms. Therefore, this sustainable and ecological material fits perfectly into this type of buildings.
