OAKWELL TOWER - MEDIATION CENTER

While buildings clearly define physical boundar­ies, architecture can also gather and unite. Like the process of bringing two opposing sides togeth­er to mediate an acceptable compromise between them, appreciating the urban and natural context while integrating it with the built environment helps create a harmony of place both physically and symbolically. The concept reflects the vision of bringing architecture to encompass the pur­pose of a mediation center. The building encom­passes a central atrium extended to the four floors, and where the offices and counseling rooms are grouped around it, in addition to a base­ment parking for 38 cars.
