NEW THEATRE WARSAW

The City Gar­den at the New Thea­ter con­sists of two parts: the back­drop-like green strip of St. Stephen’s Street and the fly­ing car­pet of the City Gar­den. For the back­drop-like func­tion of the green strip, an exis­ting row of trees to the west of the thea­ter is sup­ple­men­ted with addi­tio­nal trees. The “fly­ing car­pet” extends as a green car­pet of lawns, ground covers and low shrubs across levels 0, +1 and +2. The the­me of the car­pet is deri­ved from the archi­tec­tu­ral form of the buil­ding. The bands of plants stret­ching across the enti­re width empha­si­ze the undu­la­ti­ons of the car­pet rising from the street level to 10m. On the west side of the buil­ding, a lar­ge ter­race cover­ed with an ave­nue com­ple­tes the gar­den. In its cen­tral axis runs a water­cour­se with foun­ta­ins. At the peak of the buil­ding, a ter­race offers a view over the city gar­den and parts of the sur­roun­ding city.
