About the project
The project scope includes the conversion of an existing warehouse building into an office building through maintaining the existing envelope and adding internally two new levels in the superstructure, and an underground parking space.
The main concept was to maintain the industrial character of the existing warehouse building, by keeping its original external metal shell and building footprint. In order to add daylight and views to the interior areas, the exterior shell was opened on all sides with windows and parts of the roof were removed to create a central atrium, to serve natural light and ventilation to the adjoining spaces, while at the same time providing a private exterior garden for the employees.
In front of the main entrance an exterior courtyard has been designed, which is covered by pergolas, that provide a feeling of protection and shading, while at the same time developing the landmark character of the building and marking the entrance.
