The existing space is characterised by metal trusses, timber sarking, and polished concrete. The renovation relates to these features creating a refined and laid-back atmosphere. The predominating element of the intervention consists of a wooden surface with a fluted motif, individually milled, as a reference to Achille Castiglioni’s Traccia lamp. This unique surface works as a wall cladding combined to large sliding door and divides the working area and the meeting spaces.
