*4.5. Spatial and Functional Solutions*

Thanks to its new building development, a post-industrial character of Zabłocie area is being transformed into a fashionable place for living and spending free time. The residents of the apartment buildings will also co-form and co-use this local centre. The figure below shows a diagram of the formation of the body of the designed multifunctional complex (Figure 23).

The ground floor of the designed complex houses rooms and facilities enabling community integration (Item a, Figure 24, orange colour), including activities such as: craftwork, organisation of presentations and training sessions, after school activities for children. The design provides for a large multifunctional room. The ground floor area also includes: two entrance zones to the office part (Item a, Figure 24, blue colour), the hotel part (Item a, Figure 24, green colour), an aperitif-bar and restaurant with cooking facilities, and the space of the museum exhibitions with the entrance zone (Item a, Figure 24, yellow colour).

**Figure 23.** Diagram of the building body formation: (**a**) Adjustment of the object to the building plot after the delineation of new roads; (**b**) Division of the complex into museum, hotel and office functions; (**c**) Structural isolation of the 'wedge' with circulation and big groups of greenery; (**d**) Application of a flat roof and a spatial cover reminding of an aircraft wing (elaborated by E. Latusek).

**Figure 24.** Functional diagram of the designed multifunctional complex: (**a**) ground floor; (**b**) repeatable storeys +1, +2; (**c**) storey +3 (elaborated by E. Latusek).

Storeys +1, +2 and +3 were designed in accordance with the division into three chief functions: office, hotel and museum. The last floor was supplemented with the space dedicated to biological renewal and bodybuilding to meet the requirements of the four-star hotel. The above-mentioned functions are connected by means of a structurally isolated "wedge" with big clusters of greenery and circulation. The roof reminds of an aircraft wing. It has openings providing natural lighting to the single-space "wedge" and the rooms on lower storeys. The main emphasis, however, was put on the proper design of the museum space. In its central part there is space for a large exhibit–the replica of a Liberator aircraft. There are also exhibition rooms connected with the local history.
