wrap manifesto: the entrance lobby

The entrance hall articulates the public circulation on the ground floor and gives the building an institutional character.

The interior design, dominated by polished concrete floors and the composition of wooden slats and panels on the ceiling, offers a warm and welcoming appearance.

The space is spacious and includes a waiting area for temporary exhibitions and a foyer connected to the multifunctional conference room.
