The new building has the same expression of an open structure when in use. The construction system of wooden frames is reinterpreted in the new building, with a layer of glass with shutters that close off the original volume. There is a continuity in the structure with a modern expression and a new range of flexible uses as workshop, event hall, playroom and showroom.
