Civic centre with square roof symbolising the area

A plan for a civic centre that will serve as a hub for the community. The exterior of the building was inspired by the mountains, as it is located at the western end of the new town and has a beautiful mountain range behind it. Careful consideration was also given to the layout of each building and the position of the openings so that the rich nature can be felt from inside the building. The roof, the symbolic shape of the building, is also used in the signage.
Materials such as the tiled exterior walls were selected for their durability as a public facility.
