5 key facts about this project
The Spirala Community House is located in a lively area that promotes social interaction and collaboration among its users. Designed as a versatile space, it brings people together for various activities, including celebrations, workshops, and wellness practices such as yoga and meditation. The overall design focuses on creating an inviting atmosphere that encourages community involvement.
Design Concept
A key element of the building’s design is the use of two spirals with different sizes. These spirals organize the internal spaces and help guide movement throughout the structure. This configuration supports the flow of people as they move from one area to another, making the building easy to navigate and accessible for everyone. The design puts user experience at the forefront, contributing to a welcoming environment.
Spatial Organization
Two entrances lead into the community house, connecting the outside world with the central space. One entrance provides direct access to service areas, enhancing the building's functionality. The thoughtful placement of these entrances improves the flow of movement, making it easy for visitors to enter and engage with the space from the moment they arrive.
Natural Light and Materiality
Natural light plays an important role in shaping the experience within the building. The central area features a large circular opening in the roof that includes prefabricated skylights. This allows sunlight to pour in, creating a bright and pleasant environment. Wood is the primary material used in construction, reflecting a focus on environmentally friendly design and sustainability.
Visual Connection to Landscape
The color scheme of the Spirala Community House draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape, using shades of green and yellow that harmonize with nature, along with various blues that evoke the sky and water. This careful choice of colors enhances the building’s visual appeal and strengthens its connection to the environment, creating a cohesive experience for the users.
Light filters gently through the circular opening in the central space, casting dynamic patterns that shift throughout the day, adding a layer of interest and warmth to the community atmosphere.
