aqso arquitectos office. Wooden physical model of the new extension and facade. The promenade for pedestrians becomes a new entrance point. The model is made of timber and metal.

the physical model

The building is situated close to a steep slope, so the new extension also serves as a pedestrian bridge connecting the upper street with the main avenue. This secondary public access is linked to the access to the multi-purpose hall.

The renovation and extension of the building take on an urban character because of the pedestrian walkway connecting the two surrounding streets.

The site model depicts this platform and its relationship with the building. This urban promenade goes through the double-height outdoor space of the conference hall and goes to the lower level.

The façade is represented as a double skin that envelops the existing building and the extension, unifying the entire scheme.
