An adaptive reuse of a vehicle workshop. Owner needed a bigger office for a growing business, and took a risk purchasing this nearby ‘box’ of a building. With help from us, town planner & certifier, the risk disappeared as we creatively changed an ugly duckling into a trendy office. Fire separation was resolved with careful use of fire walls and glass blocks, which also provided much needed natural light. The tall space was used to advantage with a dropped ceiling, providing great access for ac and large skytubes. Owners, also being builders, ran with our ideas and went further, to ensure a great result.
