Our proposal for a competition for an administrative building in the new Municipality of Zeta was exactly the architecture that gives a wider potential to the mere public building.
Osmosis (/ɒzˈmoʊsɪs/) is a physical process in which a solvent moves across a selectively permeable membrane, balancing two solutions of different concentrations. This natural principle inspired our architectural proposal for the competition for an administrative building in the new Municipality of Zeta.
Our design reflects the idea of architectural osmosis—where boundaries between public and administrative functions dissolve to create a dynamic, multifunctional space. We envisioned a building that merges public administration with cultural engagement, transforming it from a static government facility into a living, evolving community hub.
The goal
The goal was to create a space that remains active throughout the day and year, hosting administrative work, cultural events, and community gatherings. This seamless interaction fosters transparency, accessibility, and civic pride—essential qualities for a contemporary public building.
Reduce, Reuse, Recreate
Purpose, creativity, and a belief
For us, architecture goes beyond aesthetics. A well-designed structure should not only look appealing but also resonate with its purpose and context. The “dress” must be “tailor-made” for the “model”—an approach where form follows function, and design serves as a bridge between people and their environment.
Through thoughtful design, architecture can inspire, influence, and connect societies. This is how we approach every project—with purpose, creativity, and a belief in architecture as a powerful social catalyst.
