EASTMOUNT PASSEGGIATA

DESIGN: This design was driven by the use of cool colors, richness, and modernity. The purpose of the design was to use a blend of different blues for people to catch a sense of relaxation and comfort. Wide windows were added to attract direct contact to sunlight and the materials used include dark grey stones and marbles for the wall and bright colored glass for the entrance of the building to mark its center of focus.
