Being a civic building, the exterior renovation proposal introduced a public open space within the building boundary allowing for public engagement and providing an opportunity for urban social activities. Pre-cast graphic concrete panels follow the existing pattern of windows, with an added three-dimensional playfulness bringing lightness and dynamism. The durable pattern adds another layer of visual appeal to the facade.
