- silo exhibition centre & amphitheatre -
The Exhibition Centre of 14.500 m2 , is made up two-thirds of the recycled bottling warehouse
and one third is a new 15 metre high structure where innovative meeting spaces are provided.
These are in the form of pods, that are suspended from the roof structure.
These are sound proof air-conditioned volumes with all the technology needed for presentations with conference call facilities.
These hang from the exhibition structure. They range in size from 10 m2 to 200 m2.
These are connected via floating ribbon walkways.
In addition to this, there is a strip of more conventional offices and meeting rooms.
The exhibition centre is connected to amphitheatre and houses the utility and change-rooms for the amphitheatre and stage.
The Amphitheatre accomodates 2000 people.
The uses are endless, from fashion shows to live bands, comedians and product launches in conjunction with the exhibition centre.
The Cocoon Hotel-Amphitheatre is a concept whereby the Hotel become an interface to the performances, housed in the Amphitheatre.
The shape of the hotel is designed to respond the Amphitheatre and act as the “galleries”.
Various opportunities are offered to view the performance from the hotel.
The rooms in this proximity are designed to view the stage.
There are 20 executive “boxes” that are designed as prime viewing suites for performances.
A Ladies & Gentlemans club is also situated in the prime position with its own seating gallery.
The two restaurants at ground level have reserved seating areas that allow for the viewing of performances.
From there on down, is raked seating space in front of the stage.
The adjacent walkways double up as elevated viewing galleries.
These are also part of the enclosure of the Amphitheatre.
The roof structure has been designed to protect patrons from the weather whilst still achieving an outdoor feel.
