PRECEDENTS
Material 1
Oko cladding-will provide more refined look for Essoldo plus it will make the front and back of Essoldo to become as one
​

Material 4
Brick-since Essoldo is listed building, the existing brick work will be saved, but visitors and users. Its history can be appreciated from inside of the old cinema by adding a little more detail to the rather modern approach of materiality
​

Material 2
Board framed concrete- it is smooth transition from the concrete cladding as well as to the timber cladding. Concrete seems to be the most appropriate primary structure due to the size and programme of the building
​
MATERIALS

Material 3
timber cladding-it will add more definition and contrast to the concrete and the whole building
​
Key materials and structure
-brick work with concrete cladding panels /front of Essoldo/
-concrete structure /back of Essoldo/
-timber cladding
​

Material 5
Laminated glass-it has great qualities that can not only protect some parts of the building from over heating, but also it will benefit the sound distribution- especially for the performing space, where not a small part is exposed to more public spaces
