The design contents expand the possibilities of the location, creating new cultural and social hubs. At the level of the urban solution, the project remains consistent with the visual language of the location, emphasizing the integration with the existing environment and improving the quality of life in it. The project provides functional benefits, while also contributing to the development of social interactions.
