Concept and inspiration

The concept of the Hub involved creating spaces within a space, essentially generating distinct areas within the Hub, an interior within an interior. These spaces were interconnected through walkways, and there were shared connecting and transit spaces among them.

Within this project, particular attention was given to optimizing the use of interior spaces, making them multifunctional and meeting the urban community's needs in a sustainable manner. Additionally, modern design elements were integrated, respecting the historical character of the existing building, thus contributing to the preservation of the local heritage and enhancing the area's aesthetics.
