Speaking of the warehouse, the architects mention, “The existing
structure was one of dormant beauty – be it the angular trusses
supporting the asbestos roof, or the 14 inch thick exposed brick walls.
These were to be the crux for the whole design to follow.” And so, they
crafted a design that would turn the old structure into an industrial
chic, edgy space perfectly aligned with the ethos of a creative agency.To clear up space and optimize its use, a large mezzanine that covered
almost two thirds of the area was demolished. This highlighted the
towering trusses overhead, as envisioned by the design, making it a
prominent, striking element within the space. To maximize viewing
angles, the architects built a small mezzanine, placing it in a way that
does not obstruct views or flow. Similarly, an exciting 2’ thick wall
that divided the space was also removed. This way, the entire space
was connected horizontally and vertically, in line with the underlying
intent of “no visual obstructions” and “one space”. Throughout the
space, the design marries the “one space” principle. For instance, the
conference room, tucked away under one half of the mezzanine, has
doors that are made of mild steel angles and glass, and slide out to
make the space larger or acoustically private, as required.Customizing the space for its employees, the architects created a
dedicated workspace for the editing team by interconnecting adjacent
halls through arched entries. Additionally, a sleeping nook was
created above the private editing suite for this team that likes to work
