An office and commercial building with a stone frame and an open, active ground floor.
Use
An office and commercial building for the people who work, meet and pass by: a glazed, lit base makes the building part of the street, not a wall beside it.
How we designed it
A restrained stone frame with deep reveals, tall ground-floor glazing and a glazed top storey. At night the base glows and the building reads as a lantern on the street.
Stone, proportion and a generous street edge are qualities that do not go out of fashion.
