Final evaluation

Final evaluation

The last step of the project was based more on developing constructions and textures details.

The whole construction leans on one big long span beam plus two other vertical beams 

situated on both opposite sides of the building (-2 floor).

The roof construction is part of the design. 

Trusses provided are exposed inside the building in order to create a feeling of a massive space.

For that reason the staircase which is the main furniture of the extension was enlarged as well. 

They are bigger now with more massive wooden railings.

The long glass curtain wall on the -2 floor is adivision between 

inside and outside space is now divided into three separate sliding window openings. 

The glass can still be considered as one piece 

thanks to the Vitrocsa company which creates almost invisible wall system. 

As a reference we could provide Breuer’s project. 

He created strong and heavy modernist building in New York - Whitney Museum. 

The inner space he created under ground level was our inspiration.

For walls we used simple greyscale plaster finishing. 

Almost all in grey except cafeteria where the white dominates to obtain bright space.

Floating pavilion

The idea is to situate a building not disturbing the natural landscape, so the pavilion is a place as a continuation of the river’s estuary. The building shape didn’t came from nothing. Snails was an inspiration for that or rather to be more precise, their shell. Before entering the building the visitor must walk on around 40 meters platform which lead to the interior. In the hall the closer the main doors we are the darker is the space in order to create a tension but while we enter the pavilion the big spotlight on the roof shows the way. There are a few sofas provided to relax, listen to music and enjoy the view through the curtain wall installed along the facade which is faced to the south. The space on the ground level is divided into two, one with the sofas and the second one - smaller, with the metal simple staircase leading to the room designated for the single listener or small group of visitors. The building is white from the outside and black inside.
