ATHLOHIVE evokes a strong sense of community, collaboration, and interconnectedness, reminiscent of a beehive where individuals work together towards a common goal. It signifies a space where athletes come together to support one another.
The project emphasizes the communal aspect and fosters a sense of unity, which is integral to the complex. It achieves this by providing accommodations, rehabilitation facilities, a well-being center, and mixed-use spaces tailored for the athletes. The landscape design also plays a crucial role in enhancing the sense of community by incorporating various elements that encourage interactions between athletes and the public. These centers and the landscape design establish a symbiotic relationship, promoting the idea of a harmonious “commune” among the users.
