These adjustments will take also into account the restoration of the particular building elements, providing the building with light and colour to adapt to the future new users: the children. It is important to remember that the Parade is addressed basically to them and the most important element is the happiness.
The space has been divided mainly for two purposes:

– Administrative area (offices)
- VIP area (halls) Royal Hall and Orient Hall
- Restrooms and dressing rooms

Furthermore, to accomplish the arrangement, a double entrance for the floats will be placed as well as a double pedestrian entrance.
