Gibert opted for acceptance: “the decision to carry forward the pitched geometry of the warehouse to the office component implied a strong alternative to typical ‘boxes’ you often see in such context”,...

 The answer is a thorough renovation that lasted more than five years, but now the former Kesko headquarters is open again! 30.000 sqm host 185 new homes and a hotel. Among the very many challenges, a crucial one was the building's façade: protected by the cityscape authority but in so poor condition that it had to be completely demolished. We developed together with Wienerberger brick factory a whole new brick that would match the appearance of the demolished bricks with the most varied colors and burn marks.

This system seems to float in the space, with hidden connections at the dropped concrete beams and up-lit concrete coffers that help celebrate the structure of the building. All spotlights are clamped to the trays, allowing chang... More

The 150sqm+ floor plate is surrounded by an unsightly post-modern apartment complex limiting its amount of external glazing to just two windows, a few old skylights and a glazed entrance which is overlooked by the communal courtyard. Whilst the existing building is full of beautiful features such as fair faced brickwork throughout and an exposed wood and steel roof structure, it consisted of just a small bathroom, a kitchen in a dark corner and a non-compliant sleeping deck. It was our task to provide three bedrooms, two bathrooms and simply a general nice envi... More
