The main aesthetic challenge is creating the city center. The quarter in front of the Community Center was the first space that could be called an attraction point, and the Community Center is its cultural dominant. The Community Center expands its boundaries outside the building, attracting new visitors via temporary outdoor displays. 

The semantic challenge is a change in the paradigm of a place that attracts people, where citizens come to spend their leisure time. The social demand for a space that corresponds to the values ​​of the information age - leisure + education format. 

The architectural challenge is the absence of recognizable architecture of the region, existing buildings. Followingly, there were no restrictions in the design of the future building. Reconstruction is always a challenge, it determines a strict framework for design - in addition to the "surprises" that appear during opening / demolition, there are design parameters that cannot be changed - for example, a 6x6m column grid.

An interior challenge is to unite a set of zones with different functions and styles with a single space. To create a recognizable look of interiors that will unite and continue the ideas set by the architecture of the façade.
