The rehabilitation of the main boulevard of Orikum will also include enhancing public spaces with urban furniture and greenery. The project will involve refurbishing façades with necessary insulation layers and unifying the façade colors with the other buildings along the boulevard.

The project is designed around a main axis corresponding to the town’s main road, which will be enhanced. Existing layers will be demolished, and new layers will be constructed, with the finishing layer made of brushed concrete. Along this axis, there will be two bike lanes on both sides, paved with concrete tiles. Additionally, there will be eight pockets that correspond to public spaces reimagined to feature more green areas, improved building layers, and more activities. Materials used for these spaces include washed concrete in white and grey, and decomposed granite. Surrounding these pockets are buildings that will have their façade layers redone to improve thermal insulation and achieve a more aesthetically unified architectural style with the town.

The project is structured around a central axis, which corresponds to the main road of the town. This axis will undergo significant enhancements to improve traffic flow, pedestrian accessibility, and overall urban experience. The key components of the project are:

 

  • Demolition of existing road layers and construction of new layers with brushed concrete as the finishing layer.
  • Installation of two bike lanes on both sides of the main road, paved with concrete tiles.
  • Creation of eight pockets of public spaces, featuring increased greenery, improved building layers, and more community activities.
  • Utilization of materials like washed concrete in white and grey, and decomposed granite for public spaces.
  • Façade refurbishment for surrounding buildings to improve thermal insulation and achieve aesthetic unity.
