French term or phrase: concept construit autour
Hi,

"Situé au rez-de-chaussée de l’établissement, il s’inscrit dans le raffinement, tout en misant sur l’originalité, grâce à un concept inédit, construit autour de l’éveil de sens."

it is the same sentence as the previous question

could I say "concept build around the awakening of the senses"?

Please help!
Thank you :)
