Project description

The project consists of an external part, which consists of outdor work stations as well as a segment built into the ground to create hygienic and sanitary facilities. The roof can be a place for work, rest or observation.
The base of the exterior of the building is a roofed platform, where the shapes form the shape of the tape, arranged on a circle plan. Varied web widths and heights allow you to tailor your parts to your requirements and mobilize them for creative use. Elements of different heights can have multiple functions, for example: worktop, seat or swing. The central point of the mold is a galzed tube, with a skylight in the roof where the workstations are located. The solution enables the building to be used in a wide variety of weather conditions, providing heating, air conditioning and a constant sense of closeness to nature, depending on the season.
Over the platform stands a vegetated roof, conected to the ground, so that you can enter in. There are stairs on the part of the cover, which in addition to the standard use also function as sitting places. Inside the roof are two windows, giving an insight into what happens at the zero poziom.
Inside the building there are toilets, a kitchenette, an office part with all necessary equipment, as well as technical and storage rooms. The space is also adapted to the needs of people with disabilities and is equipped with facilites such as a driveway, a lift or a properly equipped toilets.
