The idea of the project is to preserve the original shape of the building as much as possible and recreate its historical function and at the same time add A new oneS. building was consecutively given four functions arranged on each of the fourth floors: an icerink was created in the basement, the ground floor is a return to the past when Milky Peter was a restaurant, the first floor is a space for the WL4 artistic group currently stationing at Milky Peter.
The space outsideof Milky Peter is a continuation of the inner space. There is also a large amount of plants adameted to harsh conditions (We had to take into account the long-term environmental polution created by the Imperial Sihpyard). High grasses and bushes are suppose to associate with the sea sea climate. Combined with steam and scupltures made my WL4 artists it creates a continuation of the exhibition in the attic. We also dug up a buried marina where small boats can moor.
Why icerink? We came to this unconventional idea after reading an interview with the artist Mariusz Warasa, who told about flooding OF the building's basement with water to 20-30 cm high, which then freezes AND WE USED THIS PHENOMENA TO CREATE AN ICERINK.
outside THE BUILDING WE HAVE USED High grasses and bushes WHICH ARE SIUTABLE FOR sea climate. Combined with scupltures made my WL4 artists it creates a continuation of the exhibition in the attic.
