The assignment consisted of the design of an Events Center for 1.000 people located in Santiago de Chile. The land had the potential that there were ruins of an old 19th century mansion located on a small hill.
Through work with archaeologists, all of the stone and masonry walls that remained in the place were rescued. The cleaning and removal of land accumulated by earthquakes and looting, revealed the importance and elegance of the ruin, transforming them into elements that could be protagonists within the architectural proposal. In this way, the main concept was to value the vestiges and original materials of the existing ruin so that they function as a backdrop for the events center, seeking to build only the essential elements required for the new uses and programs. The project is integrated in between a system of walls, patios and esplanades that configure interior, extension or cocktail spaces; being located among the ruins of the house, which allows it to have a privileged view over the sector, and in turn become a recognizable urban landmark for the commune.
Emily Event Hall is the largest and probably the most modernized event hall in Western Ukraine, designed for 1500 guests. Multipurpose space is suited for big shows, concerts, festivals, business conferences, corporate and personal events.
Crowd events are always about emotions. We aimed to create a design that works like a magnifying glass for them. We built an impressive installation to maximize the emotions of each event, taking place in Emily Event Hall and making memories that will last a lifetime. The wall with the waved shape that goes along the whole hall and works as a media screen is 1500 m2 in size.
