The site is an old warehouse, previously used as a rice granary and had to be refashioned into an office space for the company. The existing structure has brick masonry walls and piers that support a sloping ‘Flat Truss’ system topped with asbestos sheet to form the roof.
The idea was to preserve the warehouse and have a straight forward layout for the office in an industrial aesthetic using clean and minimalist design details. The door and window sizes needed to be increased, along with the addition of a few windows to maximize the natural daylight in the interior spaces making them feel more positive which in turn should inspire its users into action.
The project needed to have a frugal yet sophisticated looking construction. The material palette was kept simple and majorly restricted to timber and glass.
