The new festival hall has been constructed on the site of a demolished hall and references the volume of the former building. The detached positioning and reduction of the building’s volume lend the festival hall a powerful presence in the public space. The main entrance is facing the square. The façade, made of fibre cement shingles, wraps around the compact building with rounded corners, resembling a dress. The entrances to the adjacent schools with their corresponding schoolyards have been redesigned. A spacious courtyard has been created between the buildings, which can also be used as a festival square.
