We decided to design a stylistically coherent urban layout, where public spaces are marked by public buildings with architecture that creates frontages and communicates with the neighborhood. All new volumes are approximately 15 m high so as not to dominate the buildings along Konwiktorska Street and, above all, Traugutta Park. All buildings are made of the same, solid material: concrete. Thanks to these decisions and the "sliding" of the roof over the existing building as far as possible towards the turf (intended to be preserved), the existing stand together with the accompanying swimming pool and sports hall facilities became the "main player" of the project again. The façade divisions of the historic building also became an excuse to look for appropriate proportions of the designed buildings. The colonnades of the buildings flanking the square, the high plinth of the new stands and the homogeneity of materials are intended to "sew" the new and the old into a logical whole with, after all, obvious diversity.
