The project focuses on designing new bow-windows that focus on the natural area of Cesano (area outside of Roma) and provides per user waiting areas with a complete view of the landmark and skyline.
These architectonic-composite solutions eager to highlight a Part of the entire FL3 network, with the aim of making the spaces of the project easily recognizable for the user.
