Renovation of offices and depot front of house including entrance public
circulation areas. The existing building façade was overexposed to
natural sunlight due to its south western orientation and large glazed
surfaces. This resulted in high energy consumption for cooling needs, as
well as a poor working environment. The intervention proposed a radical
facelift without expensive reconstruction at the existing structure
which is due for demolition in the near future. The solution uses
vertical aluminium clad louvers which change orientation following the
sun path as part of a new independent elevation with light connectors to
the old structure. Office interiors are redesigned with modular
custom-designed furniture, including a new waiting room for corporate
leasing customers.
