The new building provides an efficient, light-filled workplace for about 150 employees in a 260 sq m service facility, laboratory, and office building within an industrial warehouse.

For this project, the client and industrial engineer's collaboration was essential to match the program with flows of production and meet the space and material requirements and safety considerations. Simultaneously, the modulation of glazed bricks, concrete floors, and the layout met two main concerns of the client, reducing construction time and future maintenance costs.
