The design integrates functional and open areas, providing spaces for movement, relaxation, and interaction. Pathways guide visitors through different zones, connecting green areas, seating, and recreational spaces, while preserving natural sightlines toward the church. The placement of built elements and landscape features creates a sense of order and rhythm across the site, allowing each area to be distinct yet part of a cohesive whole. Fountains, urban furniture, and planted zones are positioned to complement the spatial flow, enhancing usability without dominating the view. Overall, the composition balances openness and structure, offering a clear, navigable layout that highlights the church while supporting a variety of activities within the complex.
