The projections along the facade are designed as sleek boxes made using two layers of MS plates for heat insulation and are opened at top, with operable louvers, in a north-facing direction for cross ventilation.
The entry to the building is from the south-east side leading into double-height workshop spaces arranged in an open plan envisioned to allow flexibility in functionality and interaction across the floor plate.
Overall, the idea is to break the typology of a factory-like space and establish a language that allows the inclusion of stakeholders within the craftsmen’s space within an architectural framework that develops a strong tectonic relationship with the context.
