The project envisages a new building located along the principal street in order to close the existing courtyard and to respond to the competition aim to increase the accommodation capacity and the ancillary functions. A new large central space is designed as a place of identification and attraction intended to be the core of life, with all the events and activities gravitating around it. The views onto the new central space consist of terraces and public spaces, as well as distribution spaces. A glass roof over the hall allows natural light to enter giving the idea of an outdoor living space.
