The project represents a reconstruction of 19th-century cotton mill’ s building. The first task to be undertaken in designing was finding a trade-off decision, taking into account historical features of the building and necessary functionality of contemporary business center. The project was implemented in 2017.
As a conceptual basis, the rhythm of weaving loom’ s filaments was taken. Interiors of public spaces in the building have a dynamic composition of intersecting lines. Business center’ s navigation and its corporate identity were also made in general style. Many pieces of furniture and illumination are made according to individual drafts. Multipurpose flat roofing represents a terrace, equipped with glass windshield. This was necessary due to the proximity of the building to a quay.
In addition to interior solutions in the building, an enhancement of adjacent area and façade lightening’ s system was made. At the entrance, there is a small bicycle parking, while vehicle area is marked with lighter granite modules. Fence construction defends against traffic and road refuses with the aid of repeating lamellas, rotated at 45 ° angle. This provides a perfect area view without disturbing historical façade.
