Sombre, forgotten house becomes practical architecture’s office. The actual office is located on the two top floors in mezzanine.
The first floor is both meeting room cum team room and library for the entire office. Quite becoming for the building after reconstruction, is the subtle balance between mass and space, between dark and light, between Mediterranean-appearing massive construction and Scandinavian, wooden lightness. The generous rooms in a defined, directed claire-obscure game, the temperate yet royal contact between street and surrounding nature, the inartificial yet rich collage of materials which articulates the room by creating complex resonances: all this lingers on in the silenced, abstract geometrical facade. The office completely revives this forgotten and neglected place on the city’s edge.
