Renderings of the overall shape of the building





The rendering of my building only shows the concrete materials used. I do intend to have about a quarter of its outside materials to be made of glass therefore opening up the building more (just need to learn more about the software).

two strong factors has led to this symetry of the building. Both of them coming from my site analysis, the first being the views opening up on each side of the story bridge and the second factor was about the circulation flow of the people to the site also coming from both side and therefore how should the building adress its entrance to its people.

The idea in here is that instead of offering one main entrance to the foyer of the building, it will have two, one on each side. the entrance which is located at the bottom of the building is for people wishing to access the bar and restaurant located on the second floor without having to enter into the foyer (it also serve the possibility to keep a part of the building open at night and shutting other areas in it).
