We have designed many renovations, but never on a plot as narrow as this one. We were barely allowed by the municipality to assign the plot of 3m10 as office space. Daylight is a major factor in the design as the building is completely enclosed by the neighbors. The atmosphere must be that of a place of work without losing the intimacy of the scale of the building. The facade references the materials of the surrounding neighborhood in a contemporary composition. As such the office has a clear identity while fitting its context naturally.
