The redesign of the interior of AGBU’s Vahe Karapetyan Building, isn’t merely limited to the design of the interior because we incorporated functional elements and tried to connect key functionalities of the interior to the exterior. Thus, we created external walkways that are attached to the building. This first one connects the first floor to the second to create a direct connection from reception area to exhibition room. The second one connects the second floor to the third, thus connecting the exhibition room to the auditorium. This is how we imagined connecting the exterior of the building of the interior. As for the interior the building has a basement floor and three floors.
The objective was to create a modern interior that would facilitate activity and be appropriate for younger visitors. The interior houses a parking lot, rock-climbing wall, gym, auditorium, exhibition room, collaborative spaces for creative activities, and a rooftop cafe. We incorporated the traditional Armenian tuff stone into the interior as well to obtain a modern interior with the use of traditional materials.
