We continue the story about one project about two streets. If, in the case of the residential part on Lemkivs'ka Street, we support the scale, parceling, consider the historical buildings in the structure, but do not trifle with the details, just broadcast a modern style. Then on Chornovola Avenue, we needed to recreate the front of the street. The building of the cultural center of Khotkevich closest to the site does not define the structure of the street, and behind it, there are no buildings that would support the line of street development from the side of the avenue.

Therefore, we had a choice either to set a new scale, which would correspond to the new complex's volume, or to recreate the parcels that should be on this section of the street. We chose the second option and visually divided the facade into several volumes, which, in terms of coloring and variety of elements, maintain the Lviv rhythm, tone, and detail. We applied here the classic technique of a three-part structure. At the bottom is an arcade with intricate, multi-radius, multi-wide arches. The same arched struts support the protruding volumes of the middle part of the building. On top, we made a brass "crown" that appeals to metal roofs and is perceived as an attic. This also corresponds to the functional division - the first floor refers to street retail, the second block is offices, and the third level is a hotel. Another solution worth paying attention to is the outdoor patio, a place for relaxation and meetings. It is located at the second floor level of the complex, so a wide staircase leads there from the street side. And here, we could not resist the desire to elaborate high-quality public space improvement with a comfortable separation of a pedestrian, bicycle, and car flow, with the device of a sideline for cars and cozy green areas for rest. In general, we have set all the prerequisites for creating a smart street.
