The project involves the adaptation of two adjoining row houses into a new office space. The building is split into two halves, with formal functions on the air conditioned east side, and circulation and supporting facilities on the naturally ventilated west side. All the original finishes were left intact and new additions are treated as new layers which distinguish itself from the existing via raw materiality and finish. To celebrate the spirit of the area, local elements such as the scissors gate are utilised throughout the building.
