Run by JIC, the hub combines studios, offices, coworking, events, education and business support, creating a place where different creative disciplines can work alongside one another and build new connections.
Working with a limited budget, the project concentrates intervention where it can have the greatest effect. Later additions were removed to reveal original qualities, including travertine columns and light-brick ceiling elements, while new openings and shared spaces improve circulation, flexibility and opportunities for interaction.

The building’s relationship with the city is strengthened through an open multifunctional hall facing the street and the activation of two inner courtyards. New platforms and seating extend activity outside, allowing fairs, events and informal gatherings to become part of the everyday life of the hub.
