The project is composed by four elements: an underground parking (on two levels), a commercial level, a public space level and a roof level of lighting fittings and formal characterization. The proposal elements take back the shut rythm and the verticality of the Camogli's building while the halls and the connective spaces privileges foreshortenings, journey's fluidity and funcionality. The commercial level is on the top of the parking and has the same outline to optimize structural relations and disposition surface. Both levels are about 370 sqm. On the top of a concrete plate, at +12,00 m, there is a public space for socialization. It shapes as a jewel as well as other levels: a ring it follows the shop's bending and creating an intimate space of relationship around a central empty. Paved with the same wood of underling level, has semicircular seats with material and form continuity: oriented toward topical points or turns one in front of others to emphasize view, meditation, company, meeting, relax. One of the compositive elements of the project is the lighting with big over-size lanterns position over the public space on roofing.
