The espalier of maples along Priest Trojden Street has inspired the designers to open southern facades to the greenery that will merge inside the Center. Thanks to this, the users of the pools will be able to feel as if they swim among trees. Irregular frontage with recesses and a green piazza creates a harmonious composition; glazed facades of the complexes were designed as a spatial complement of the espalier. All facade separations/elevation divisions refer to the Fibonacci sequence, used to describe natural phenomena, including the growth of the trees. Vertical COR-TEN weathering steel sheets, laser perforated and fixed to the walls, perform the function of vertical shaders and allow to obtain the effect of light filtered through leaves, both: inside and outside. The facades also perform a usage function, on the western side of the internal piazza a climbing wall has been designed that, thanks to the use of folded membrane roof, can be used also during adverse weather conditions. The architecture refers also to the existing urban tissue and fits into the surrounding buildings.
The greenery dominates inside the object and outside of it. In the mail hall, there are green module walls, eastern facade is all covered with plants that make up a unique vertical carpet of flowers, grass grows on the roofs of all buildings.
