Description
The task was to visually and technically upgrade a drab legacy building from the 1970s while expanding the lettable area, creating flexible floor plans, and introducing a lighting concept. A radical “face lift” that included a change in the floor partitioning and the addition of a recessed storey made it possible enlarge the lettable area by around 1,100 sqm. All of the four floors may be divided into a maximum of three separate rental units with dedicated infrastructure.
