A wooden industrial hall with office function Roofscape The industrial hall(s) is, in itself, a straightforward structure. However, the roofscape transforms it into a distinctive building, both visually and experientially. Image Courtesy B-too Image Courtesy B-too The industrial hall serves as a climatic and safety envelope for business activities, such as a production environment.

The central concept for the architectural composition came out of the creation of a single-stroke of the pen, a thread that begins from the entrance of the residence, interconnects the internal living spaces, unfurls itself towards the yard, and climaxes vertically in the terrace, uniting the conceptual connection between earth and sky. KAAF Historically, when Theseus, son of Aegeus, the king of Athens, reached Crete to offer himself as tribute to the Minotaur, he met Ariadne, the daughter of king Minos, and won her favour. To save him from certain death, Ariadne resorted to cunning; she gave him a ball of thread (the fabled thread of Ariadne), with the help of which he was able to find his way out of the labyrinth after his victoriou...
