Overview
The design rests mainly on reflecting the architectural identity of the building in its lines, colours and choice of materials for the outdoor space. It covers the outdoor spaces and the rooftop garden, plus an inner garden.
Paths and murals
The paths are defined by engraved murals that serve the design identity and connect to several elements on site, with lighting used to enhance the design at night and support the overall idea. Several structural columns stand in the middle of the site; they were put to work to add to its beauty, with the path movement studied to flow smoothly, and the planters inlaid with a pattern tied to the other elements.
Seating and views
Fixed and movable seating was added to make the best use of the spaces and the site area. Views from inside the building were studied carefully, including the view from the indoor library toward the garden with its planting, water and timber elements.
Rooftop garden
The rooftop garden was put to use with seating, a barbecue area, planters, water basins and multi-use areas, with the sizes of the planters studied precisely and their waterproofing carefully considered.
Inner garden
In the inner garden the view from several spaces in the building was studied, with a planting element, a small seating area and a coffee corner added.
