The multipurpose hall spaces could be transformed from one program to other programs by its open and closed operation with using moving sliding rounded walls.
The buffet restaurant space and fitness center are also located at the basement level. To achieve organic relationship of spaces, several long curved walls are used to divide the space and programs like rotunda, restaurant and fitness club.
Through main lobby and mezzanine floor, Cheppo marble with rough and exposed cement like raw-quality is mainly used and steel, glass and wood is used for details like column, stair cases, media wall, handrails and canopy.
This heterogeneous mixture of materials offers dramatic spatial atmosphere. The wooden floating gigantic canopy elements is located on the center of ceiling with two steel surrounded columns. This elements become hierarchical elements to organize the spaces and materials n main lobby.
To create gallery like environment, the media wall is installed vertically at the staircases from 3rd floor to 10 th floor within a various size of modular panel system with reflective stainless steel plate and media art playing LED monitors.
