Community center IN

Projects like this hold a special place at our studio. Our support wasn’t about deciding whether to be or not to be a part of it.

It is a natural reflection of what we believe in and the kind of world we want to live in.

Architecture is often about creating conditions for things that matter to be able to grow and flourish. It's about perceiving the world more sensitively and focusing our attention on what truly matters.
Our profession isn’t just about aesthetics and design, but rather about taking responsibility and believing that we are able to help improve the lives of individuals, families, or communities.

The space was stripped of the remaining office layers of the former bank and turned into an interior that offers the desired openness and flexibility. The abundance of large windows and natural light further enhances and unifies the open character of the space. The functional layout of the community center remains adaptable and can easily be adjusted to the evolving needs of its users over time.

The main theme of the space is connection. A unified floor naturally transitions into stairs/seating, opening up new possibilities for the use of the space. Curtains running along the entire frontage are a form of soft enhancement. The colorful reception desk is the first point of contact with the community center. It supports the concept of belonging as well as uniqueness.
