Nova, is an architectural renovation project completed in 2024, that adds modern design elements to an existing building located in an industrial area, separating the structure from its surrounding environment and revitalizing it. The project highlights our office's ongoing commitment to revitalizing existing buildings, preserving their integrity while adapting them for contemporary use. By carefully restoring key architectural features and introducing innovative solutions, the renovation enhances the building's functionality and aesthetic appeal. This approach reflects our dedication to sustainable design practices and the thoughtful reuse of built environments.
The addition of perforated elements to the façade of the Nova building transforms its character by softening its appearance. At night, the light glistens through these perforations creating a dynamic glow, while casting intricate patterns on the surrounding space and imbues the building with a warmth and vibrancy. This fusion of form and function redefines the building's presence, through the intricate relationship between the building materials and the power of illumination.
The perforated metal facade additions in the Nova project provide a sleek, modern aesthetic while enhancing privacy. The lightweight panels allow natural light to filter into the interior, while at night, they create a dynamic visual effect as the lights illuminate through the perforations, casting intricate shadows and adding depth to the building’s exterior.
Upon entering the Nova building, visitors are greeted by a spacious foyer that sets the tone for the entire building. To the right, a curved glass partition houses a meeting space, offering a striking visual connection to the adjacent waiting area. This transparent boundary not only defines the workspace but also frames the expansive meeting room, while maintaining a sense of openness and flow. On the left, the company logo sits between two niches. The one on the right is a seating unit, that invites visitors to pause and relax, while the second, is a table that serves as a functional display area.
The waiting area of the Nova building features a curved transparent glass partition that separates the factory floor while providing an engaging view, subtly guiding visitors through the space. A dark steel staircase leads to the upper administrative offices, all within a double-height, open, and well-lit environment. The strategically colored grey LVT flooring and matching curved furniture create visual harmony, enhancing the overall sense of balance and flow throughout the space.
