B&aacute;zhane Visionary Room is a place where ideas take shape, and each item is a fragment of the B&aacute;zhane universe. Here we take our worldview beyond clothing and share our philosophy through everyday objects, coffee varieties, flavors of treats, and the overall atmosphere.

BÁZHANE Visionary Room

margarita apartment

The architectural solution of the Bazhane boutique is based on restraint, functionality and precise work with details. The space is neutral and structured, devoid of decorative layering, working as a backdrop for the product. The room has an elongated shape and is divided into two zones relative to the entrance. The first visual accent is the reception desk, made of wood and travertine. Its elongated horizontal line forms the direction of movement inside the space. To the left of the reception desk is the main hall with rails for clothes and a waiting area. The latter is decorated with a black leather sofa by Gianni Songia, tables made of fiberglass concrete by ferm living and a low vintage armchair. The rails are made of metal and finished with a cone-shaped base - as an attempt to give each element a separate plasticity, while maintaining a single stylistic language. In the center is an individually designed table with a massive wooden structure and a deep green tabletop. It acts as an architectural axis - the logic of movement and zoning is organized around it. The table is multifunctional: it serves as a place for display, interaction with clients and events. The composition is complemented by vintage Poliform chairs from the 1970s and a bench made of solid wood. The walls in the hall are finished with veneered oak panels that merge into a block with a shelf and a large mirror located opposite the waiting area. From this point - through a wooden portal - the transition leads to the fitting room area. The fitting room block consists of two parts. The open part includes mirror surfaces and a soft bench; the closed part - three fitting rooms, separated by linen beige curtains. Inside - oval mirrors in wooden frames and carpeting. The rest of the room is finished in white - as a visual counterpoint to the warm wooden surfaces. Here is an artistic accent: a graphic painting by Ukrainian artist Dmytro Kozynets and a table lamp with a folded textile surface from the Ukrainian studio Cegla. Next are open shelves made of green avocatus quartzite and a VIP fitting room block hidden behind a mirrored volume with its own waiting area. Uniform lighting is implemented due to the luminous ceiling, which ensures the absence of shadows and even light scattering. Thanks to this, the environment retains its neutrality, and clothes and textures are read without distortion. The zones flow into each other without accentuated boundaries. The furniture uses author&#39;s designs and vintage objects, which makes this space special, as well as the emphasis on natural materials such as wood and stone, creating a sense of the integrity of the space and emphasizing the natural texture of the interior. Both parts are autonomous in character, but integrated into the overall spatial logic.

The interior of the JUL store is designed in a modern minimalist style, emphasizing natural materials and muted tones. The existing brick walls have been preserved as part of the historical heritage, highlighting the authenticity of the space and providing a contrast with the smooth surfaces.

The central element of the interior is a custom-designed, massive stone table with a layered construction that showcases the natural beauty of the stone, adding sophistication to the space.

Wide white curtains serve as a backdrop for the displayed clothing, creating a calm and elegant atmosphere that emphasizes the style and refinement of the JUL brand.

The key feature of the space that we wanted to emphasize is the ceiling height. To achieve this, the color palette is executed in light tones, while the detailing is made from natural materials&mdash;stone, wood, and stainless steel.

The poured flooring&mdash;microcement&mdash;ensures the visual integrity of the space and creates a seamless transition between rooms.

The main compositional element is a stainless steel arch that accentuates the height of the space and guides us from the corridor to the kitchen-living area.

The spacious and minimalist kitchen is designed based on the principles of minimalism, featuring white MDF facades and a travertine countertop. Thanks to the sufficient length of the work surface, upper cabinets have been minimized&mdash;there is only a single cabinet above the cooktop, concealing the range hood while emphasizing the height of the space without overwhelming it.

Opposite the kitchen, the lounge area features an HAY sofa, complemented by Gervasoni coffee tables and a TV mounted on the wall, along which a long oak countertop adds warmth and texture. Nearby, the dining area is centered around a trapezoidal travertine table, which ensures comfortable passageways while serving as a key decorative element of the space. Its geometry is highlighted by a FLOS pendant lamp placed above it.

The bedroom was conceived as a minimalist space free of excess elements. A distinctive feature of the room is a slanted corner, which inspired the decision to integrate the sleeping area into a single monolithic block rather than assembling it from separate pieces. At the back of this structure, nightstands made of brushed pine in a white-graphite grain pattern are located, while along the right wall, a stainless steel wardrobe is built in. The only freestanding elements in the room are a work desk with an HAY table lamp and a black leather Vipp chair.

The bathroom layout allowed for the integration of separate niches for sinks, accentuated by a stone &ldquo;frame&rdquo; made of marble and travertine. The shower area is executed in a different material&mdash;tiles&mdash;and is concealed behind a partition, creating a sense of spatial continuity.

The entrance area appears visually clean&mdash;only a mirror with a bench is present, as all storage is concealed within a separate room.

Custom-designed furniture highlights the uniqueness of the interior. Among these pieces are the geometric travertine table, a wooden podium for the sleeping area, a bench in the entrance zone, and stainless steel structures&mdash;the wardrobe and the portal between the corridor and the living room.

&quot;Maple Wood Chess combines the cultural and architectural features of different regions of Ukraine, which is reflected in the chess design. The first version of the chessboard is reminiscent of the geometry of buildings and human silhouettes in Western Ukraine with its European architectural influences, including Baroque, Renaissance, and Neo-Gothic. The second option reflects Central Ukraine&#39;s more industrialized and flexible nature, where modern and Soviet architecture predominates. Both styles complement each other, embodying the interaction of tradition and modernity in a versatile product. 
Chess embodies masculine beauty and sophistication, symbolized through the image of maple. Maple is known for its clear and neat shape, reflected in its comprehensive but well-defined leaves. This natural motif is carried over into the chess design, emphasizing the slenderness, purity of lines, and aesthetic completeness of every detail, making it not just a game but a symbol of style and skill. 
The design was developed with particular attention to quality and authenticity. The main principles included using natural materials, working with Ukrainian craftsmen, and perfecting every detail. Selecting the wood, its tone, and finish was complex and required numerous experiments to find the perfect combination that would meet the desired high standard of appearance.

The &ldquo;Сhair replica&rdquo; project restores classic TATRA armchairs by the famous Czech designer Franti&scaron;ek Jir&aacute;ka, turning them into modern interior masterpieces. The project&#39;s history is rooted in family traditions and heritage. The armchairs were found in a state of disrepair at the family summer cottage and, influenced by their own memories and advanced restoration techniques, transformed into elements of contemporary design.The restoration began with a thorough restoration, with an emphasis on preserving authenticity while using advanced techniques and materials to strengthen the frame. 
The project&#39;s design is oriented towards modern trends, integrating bright colors such as black, gray, pink, brown, and yellow, which bring dynamics and freshness to the classic form. These reclaimed armchairs are not only functional but also serve as symbols of innovation and design thought, adapted to the needs of modern spaces.

The lobby of Crystal Park Tower is a separate architectural phenomenon by the AKZ Architectura Design Studio. The project&#39;s main idea is an oasis in the heart of the metropolis. It was realized by the architects in such a neutral and warm way and exclusively from natural materials. The inspiration for the concept was an ancient architectural archetype - an arch, a gate, as a symbol of invitation and greeting. The arched structure is repeated in the lobby&#39;s design and other areas. The interior is decorated in minimalism - a simple design without excessive decorativeness. Still, with the repetition and strengthening of one architectural element, it is beautifully illuminated and creates a rhythm.

LUTIKI concept space in the Kaniv district is a unique architectural combination of modernity and nature. It creates a space where the @lutiki_series brand can reveal its history and values, and visitors can enjoy the beauty of nature. The object is made of local natural materials, stained oak, raw stones, and a plinth. The main idea of this architectural object is to visually reduce its size by digging the main floor 1.5 meters underground. This creates an unusually spacious atmosphere inside the building, and its compact form blends elegantly into the natural landscape. Unhardened rough stones are laid out around the building, which have a decorative function and provide a comfortable temperature inside, external waterproofing, and organic steps to climb to the created terrace. This extraordinary combination of aesthetics and functionality uniquely charms this project.&nbsp;

This is a spectacular apartment in the French Quarter residential complex for a bachelor. For the owner&#39;s collection of records and books, there are many open and closed storage spaces, with an emphasis on the shelving structure in the living room. At the customer&#39;s request, calm color and textural solutions are used in the design&mdash;natural stone, veneered panels, stainless steel, and accent lighting elements.

The union.bistro project embodies the idea of creating a space that combines functionality, aesthetics, and an atmosphere resonating with the processes of culinary art. The core spatial solutions focus on the harmonious integration of materials, colors, textures, and light, forming a unique interior composition.

The interior not only creates an atmosphere but also tells a story&mdash;a story of blending tradition, modernity, and creativity.

The project utilizes natural textures of stone, concrete, wood, ceramic tiles, and glass. The walls are covered with textured plaster, creating a noise effect and visual depth. The floor and ceiling remain made of concrete, preserving their imperfections, which add authenticity to the space. Glass blocks and decorative wall finishes continue the design code of the residential complex where union.bistro is located.

The color combinations of materials include marble, tiles, textured wooden panels in warm walnut tones, raw leather, and metallic accents. This combination creates a multi-layered aesthetic that echoes the philosophy of culinary art: a constant search for harmony between tastes, colors, textures, and materials.

The interior design is based on open-plan principles, fostering a space for communication and interaction. The centerpiece of the hall is a large communal table (individually designed with a marble surface) accompanied by Alias designer chairs, which unite guests and emphasize the venue&rsquo;s social concept.

The kitchen is open, allowing visitors to witness the culinary processes, adding interactivity and engagement. The bar counter, clad in Mutina tiles, serves as a vibrant focal point of the space.

Lighting plays a key role in shaping the atmosphere. The combination of inflatable light fixtures, Catalani crystal pendants, and Davide Groppi lighting creates visual accents and ensures a dynamic interplay of light throughout the day. Large panoramic windows allow natural daylight to flood the space, highlighting the natural texture of the materials.

The interior design balances modernity and authenticity: collections of Ukrainian ceramics are seamlessly integrated into the space, emphasizing its unique character. Specially designated decorative zones not only showcase these items but also serve as storage areas, adding functionality to the interior.

Renovation project of the Home&amp;Gifts area on the 5th floor of the Central Department Store in Kyiv. The design and planning are based on the principles of a department store with an open space. The racks and their arrangement are made in such a way that they are arranged in a progressive line from the center to the walls and form a conditional air bubble, standing in the center of which the visitor can view the goods through the entire floor space. Trade modules are made of typical lower parts that give the space a single understanding. However, each trade area has its distinctive material in constructing the upper parts, which is associated tactilely or visually with the goods presented there.

The five-story building on Pankovska 8 Street Kyiv is a place that has adopted the beauty parlor &lsquo;KIMERA&rsquo;. Initially, it was an old clubhouse, a typical historic city-center castle, that hid gargoyles and had a fountain decorated with snakes in its courtyard. The entrance to the salon is located on the facade wall, while the living doors are behind. The total area of space makes 112 ​sq.m A tender pink is used as the primary color, and a powder shade of terrazzo is the floor base. Its combination brings body warmth and enveloping comfort. A fondatrice of the salon is passionate about gothic and anime that specified decorations and decor. The vintage mirror in a color bar is a heavenly body spontaneously caught at one flea market. Designers Artem Vakhrin and Katya Aivazian have met their challenge in dividing space into zones like working places for hairdressers-hairstylers and make-up artists, a waiting area, a reception, a color bar, and in setting up a shop. The shape of the premise determines the decision. 
Even though the hall was divided in half, the room maintained an open-space concept. A customized sofa and a glass partition were put in for this purpose (the couch consists of individual poufs, which might be stand-alone), so the area management becomes a functional solution. The glass curtain also closes a wardrobe rail. Designers have used a light box system to brighten the working area, but the reception area is pointwise lighted with luminaires. A chandelier of the Spanish brand &lsquo;BY XJER STUDIO&rsquo; and a table lamp of the brand &lsquo;Artemide&rsquo; are additional stylistic features of the main hall. The color bar, staff room, and restrooms are in the secondary hall, which is smaller than the main one. Rooms are connected by a mirrored corridor reflecting a Gothic castle. The effect has been reached by putting a photo wallpaper on the opposite wall so the mirror could display the picture. Playing colorful LED stripes was used for lightning. Combining Gothic, Anime, and Pink, the &lsquo;KIMERA&rsquo; beauty salon has become a place for enjoyable makeovers.

In this project, a system was implemented to apply the inner lining of the finish using polyurea. This material creates a strong waterproofing shell that completely repeats the configuration of the walls and all their irregularities. This method allowed us to preserve the interior space in its original form as time has passed. Lighting elements such as &quot;braid&quot; and aluminum &quot;rails&quot; sconces are made by hand.&nbsp;

RITA apt is a minimalist apartment located in the historic city center. Prior to the design process, the space had no partitions, and all the apartment&#39;s windows faced only one side. Our task was to design the space in such a way that the kitchen, living room, bedroom, and office would have natural light. Therefore, we divided the bedroom and office with a glass and wood partition, while the kitchen and living room were combined in a single space. Closer to the entrance, we arranged a wardrobe and a bathroom behind other partitions. By the way, we also managed to introduce some natural light into the bathroom through a skylight. The clients preferred natural materials and subdued colors, so the interior&#39;s foundation is reflected in the walls, which are painted in a matte white. Additional finishes were done with oak and ash veneer, as well as natural stone in the bathroom. The floors in all rooms are made of oak parquet, and the bathroom features partially poured flooring. The living room, together with the kitchen, starts with a wooden monoblock that conceals household utilities and seamlessly transitions into kitchen storage. The kitchen countertop and backsplash are made of Dedalus stone and serve as prominent elements in this block. There is a seating area for three people, a custom-made dining table from ash wood, and a Flos lamp above it. As the house walls are thick, we also used ash wood for the window sills, providing the opportunity to sit on them. The guest area is designed very concisely and compactly, yet it accommodates all necessary elements for comfortable leisure time. The office was designed with a touch of 1970s American interior styles, so its foundation consists of walnut-toned wooden panels mixed with other elements such as shelves and an ash wood desk surface, complemented by mirror details. It is from this room that we enter the bedroom through an integrated partition made of the same wood and glass. If desired, the office and bedroom area can be closed off with a curtain located behind the partition. Creating a mirrored surface with good lighting was an important task in the interior design. Since the layout allowed us to extend mirrors at the entrance along a 2.3-meter wall leading to the wardrobe, we decorated the entrance with a portal-like lightbox, providing excellent lighting regardless of the natural light outside. The bathroom&#39;s focal points are the stone block surrounding the bathtub and the gradient mirror with a coating, accompanied by two Martinelli Luce sconces that also feature a color gradient element in the center of the light fixture. The end result is a beautiful combination of minimalist design and practical functionality with a touch of vintage charm.

The round disks beneath our feet &ndash; sewage and water utility covers &ndash; seldom attract the attention of those passing by or pedestrians stepping on them. For many, they are merely a part of the road infrastructure, not deserving any particular interest. However, I am convinced that these covers are valuable witnesses of epochs, living relics of the city&rsquo;s history beneath our feet. On them is depicted the emblem of the communication specialists from the &laquo;NARCOMAT&raquo;, resembling a spider.

&quot;Best Way to Cup coffee shop is located in a house built from royal brick in the late 19th-early 20th century, near Lvivska Square. Our platform was a narrow, deep room with arched openings with a total area of 57 m&sup2;. The first floor has to function. There are several seats on one side, and the other side is where all coffee processes are organized in one line without interfering with the movement of people, creating contact between the barista and the guest. On the second floor, we set up a table for four people and a group of tables with closer seats. We focused on the neat integration of the cafe into the historical environment, showing the texture of the old brickwork by removing its finish. Lightning has different scenarios and emphasizes the structure of the premise. The gradient beam shows the direction for the guests and separates processes in the room. A transparent glass door to the courtyard strengthens the cafe&#39;s connection with the city.&quot;

Interior design of an apartment in Kyiv. The design project was created for a bachelor we know. The code name of the project sounded like MENS CAVE. The interior includes areas such as an entrance group, a living room connected to the kitchen and lounge, a guest room with a gym and tatami mat and its bathroom, and a master bedroom with a study, wardrobe, and a bathroom with a large bathtub. The main textures used in the project are concrete, white color, and the texture of tinted oak. This combination created a clean base for us, in which, with the help of individual fittings, furniture, decor, and accessories, we achieved the effect of a free, clean, full of details and content of the apartment.

The house is located in the Ryabinki cottage town, 30 kilometers from Kyiv, in a remote area among the Linden groves. The main tasks in the design were to create a comfortable space for the owners and receiving guests&#39; lives, preserve the existing trees as much as possible, and focus on the landscape around them, inscribing the house into it. The building site is divided into two parts - with and without trees, which dictated the house&#39;s location - on its flat part. The cottage is one-storeyed and connected to the surroundings by a system of paths and landscape compositions around it. To obtain a specific natural landscape and light environment, each function of the living space is oriented toward its desired orientation. To connect the interior and exterior space to make them flow into each other, we used the maximum glazing area on the southeastern fa&ccedil;ade, which is oriented towards most of the garden. So, the living room, the kitchen, and the guest room receive the most sunlight since they are the main pastime areas. Large 3x4m windows act as an ever-changing seasonal backdrop, letting in abundant color and natural light. 
The large area of glazing is also used in the master bedroom block. It faces the west and has a separate block with a bathroom and dressing room. Thus, it&#39;s hidden from the guest&#39;s eyes of the house. In addition to the main lighting through the windows, the skylight shafts are designed in the house, which forms round openings facing the sky and attracts natural daylight to the very heart of the house. Outside, each of the blocks of the house - active, quiet, or technical - is emphasized by a change in the height or material of the facades - larch and seam. The primary color of the house&#39;s facade is dark graphite, which, in this context, creates an allusion to a modern fortress where you can hide from the noisy outside world. The red H&ouml;rmann entrance door and the automatic pergolas on the main entrance and the terrace are bright exterior accents. The garden has several main functional areas. The fireplace is located closest to the house and is connected by a single path with its garden in 7 concrete garden beds. As an alternative to the pool, the pond is designed far from home among the lindens. The rest of the site is landscaping, including more than 100 plant species carefully selected by the clients and dendrologists.

Minimalist on the outside and warm on the inside, this quiet home is decorated in a neutral and natural palette of colors, materials, and textures, including muted whites, beige, wood, linen, and marble, inspired by the surrounding landscape. All the main rooms are compositionally connected due to materials and textures. Thus, the main wall dividing the active zone from others is made of natural wood and goes to a closed terrace with a summer kitchen made of the same material. The house&#39;s material palette symbolizes its place in nature. The walls and furniture are finished in oak wood, complemented by natural stone. Together, the materials create a space that feels intuitive and organic - internally, in sync with the outside world. 
The combination of noteworthy items such as Knoll dining chairs and Arflex armchairs by Marcello Cuneo is easy to match with custom-designed furnishings such as the kitchen. The reasonably linear interior is softened by soft linen curtains and an oatmeal Toulemonde Bochart carpet interspersed with the pattern, giving the design a relaxed, rustic feel. The central element in the living room and in the house itself is the fireplace, which serves as an aesthetic accent and helps heat the home. 
Technically, the house is equipped with a supply and exhaust ventilation and air conditioning system, a backup power supply system, and heating in the form of a water-heated floor. To avoid condensation on the windows that meet the floor, an additional electric underfloor heating was used along them. The interior development involved Zanotta, Knoll, Saba, Arflex, Vitra, Normann Copenhagen, Midj, and Moustache factories.

Reconstruction of the silk factory into a multifunctional coffee roasting. An open-type roasting workshop with a total area of 600 m&sup2; comprises the following spaces: coffee roastery, packing room, showroom, office, and school. We used a bright, &quot;signal&quot; white color for the industrial interior. The white surface always looks different as it takes on reflexes from all the colors in the room. Much depends on the type of texture and lighting. With the addition of gray, we created a minimalistic and practical interior.

Renovation project for a standard apartment from the 1930s and change of its designation purpose to a recreational object - healthy nutrition cafe Bowl. Change in the object&#39;s functionality directly influences the forming of recreational and meal zones. A common ergonomic space was created by merging zones for eating and relaxation to challenge post-soviet system stereotypes. This project has social and health-promoting ideas as it foresees developing and producing new social groups. It also provides a new understanding of how to create urban cafes, their ecosystems, and their functionality. The primary design-forming feature of the project is a metal net construction that also functions as the cafe&#39;s dining place. The transparency of this construction does not overload the space and successfully combines the idea of healthy nutrition that should not overload guests&#39; stomachs. There are also some interesting details in the cafe&#39;s interior, such as wallpapers that interpret soviet time wallpaper ornaments - as a heritage to an apartment that became Bowl now or a neat combination of stainless steel and natural marble. The amorphous form of mirrors balances out the strict lines of cafe design. The light concept combines Nulla spotlights and Infinito strips by David Groppi. The cafe offers balanced and healthy dishes in bowls, smoothies, and carefully selected coffee. We also created the venue&#39;s brand identity as a part of the general concept of the place.

The Fakultat is a new bar in Odessa that works as a cafe during the day. The premises of the former pharmacy, located in the educational district of Odessa, were reequipped for a new space, which could be transformed into various cultural events. The cafe is divided into three zones: a bar with a high landing, a low landing area with a terraced podium, and a shop area for records and books. In the evening, the cafe turns into a bar that can hold parties with DJs. The color spectrum of the project is made in bright colors, the flooring remains from previous owners of the premises.

The building of the center &mdash; the former ATP workshop, is part of the PrAT &quot;Trans Obolon. &quot; The concept of ensuring the transformation of the industrial zone in multifunctional urban space. The problem when visiting large shopping complexes is expressed in the placement of trading rows using the corridor method design; this does not allow the entire perception of the quantity presented exposition and the logic of orientation in space. As a rule, the visitor of the shopping center determines his location based on the entrance or memorable interior elements. These elements help him to mark his whereabouts. Choosing goods in the shopping center is more convenient when visitors can navigate position exposures. 
The priority tasks are: 
&mdash; Remarkable silhouette of the building after reconstruction; &mdash; simple and convenient visual navigation; &mdash;&nbsp;a comfortable pastime for the target consumer; &mdash;&nbsp;a new format for the presentation of materials; &mdash; the creation of interactive space.

Project of a business class hotel for IT company. The image of a white monolithic rectangle with its structure and segments is reminiscent of the processes occurring in the computer. The structure of the building is made of a frame with enclosing structures made of light-transmitting glass blocks, which allow insolation of the room, making the window plane as possible. This solution creates an effect of open space, flowing from the interior with its microclimate in the exterior of the historic city. It is envisaged that the design of the blocks has different &quot;haze&quot; modes, which allows the regulation of both the insulation and the need for privacy while refusing the curtains and blinds. The building is divided into five blocks. The 1st floor includes an entrance lobby group, a reception, a coffee shop, and a waiting and rest area. 2-6 floors are given for living space with rooms. The 7th floor is a buffer zone with coworking, a meeting room, and a recreation area. On the 8th floor, there is a bar/restaurant with the possibility of going to the terrace of the 9th floor and having a view of the historic center of Kyiv.

Blushhh! secret shop is a 100-square-metre clothing and accessories showroom located in Ukraine&rsquo;s capital. With this project, AKZ Architectura has demonstrated what&rsquo;s possible when a bright concept is placed at the heart of a minimalist interior. The result is not just another excellent example of today&rsquo;s &lsquo;Instagrammable&rsquo; retail store, the designers&rsquo; have carefully sought to balance superficial, &lsquo;social-media-worthy&rsquo; aesthetics with functional design. In order to place the main focus on the retail experience, the young design duo created a perimeter path that leads from the entrance of the store. This path is framed by clothing rails and light-pink stepped platforms designed for merchandise display.

The balance between simplicity and complexity reflects the studio&#39;s rational logic and philosophy. The interior style expresses a peaceful, cozy lifestyle. Preferring unfilled space, designers do not overload it with many accents. Individual inserts of object design furniture and lighting create a memorable image while having a corresponding function. The first level was left as a single open space accommodating the kitchen, dining room, living room, and guest bathroom.&nbsp; 
The second floor is private, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a dressing room. Light and shadows interact with the soft texture of the carpet and the comfortable sofa, creating a cozy home space. Wood veneer and light gray textiles create a natural and warm spatial tone. The main lighting items are Soviet and Dutch vintage. Paintings by local Kyiv artists fully interact with the interior, giving it cultural and aesthetic weight.

Competition project of the chapel in Rome. The task of architects was to develop the space of all religions and beliefs. The primary architectural solution was to introduce the chapel into the environment, taking into account the existing buildings and the already-located church. The new building should be on Via Julia in the historic part of the city. A pyramidal shape was created to preserve the existing routes, the arrangement of the sides of which was justified by the streets surrounding the design site. The materials and symbols used in the chapel embody the spiritual orientation and historical belonging to the place. A light stone is natural for the Roman region; water is a powerful symbol in all religions, namely the symbol of life itself, purification, and rest; communication with the outside world is represented by natural light with the help of an open atrium, the falling shadow from which as a pendulum moves along the internal crystal transparent walls and indicates the transience of time; The mirror finish of the facades reflects the environment, thereby dissolving the building in it. The structure&#39;s layout is made so that the central axis of the building becomes an atrium and a ladder, surrounded by water on the lower floor. Accomplishment consists of open amphitheaters and landscaping for more active recreation of citizens and visitors of the city.
