Our client had a passion for steel architecture
and had bought an obsolescent industrial
building, which he pre-leased to a UFCthemed gym and a car dealership for its
showroom and workshop.
The project was treated as an adaptive reuse
of the existing structure; this required its floor
space to be amplified by 50 percent, with the
insertion of new floors within and above the
existing structure.
Having three stakeholders in the design
process required us to draw on our experience
navigating the interests and aesthetics of
multiple parties.
The facility comprised 15,000m2 over five
floors and includes a 100 kVa solar electricity
plant.
