The new organization of the central square in Kanfanar ensured additional utilizable space with emphasis on its main elements - the imposing Mediterranean hackberry tree and the sculpture 'Two Doves', which is more conveniently positioned and highlighted by lighting. A protective membrane made of local stone has been formed around the tree functioning as a bench, which enables informal sitting and viewing of the surroundings on all four sides. Thoughtful adjustment of the perimeter stairs enabled a subtle connection with the contact area and provided easy access to all users. In the evening, the square gets a new look with measured but striking linear ambient lighting incorporated into the body of the bench and the stone paving.
