The idea began as an urban warehouse, providing a centralized hub of activity. Visitors directly engage with the energy and previously unseen machinations of the business. The new building is imagined as a considered building within industrial surrounds. A building that uses a contextual material, concrete, in a series of different ways. The facade is composed of precast concrete panels, for solids and screens. The office is design as a 5 star greenstar.
