Lush greenery surrounds a modern outdoor atrium with wooden decking and beams. The architecture features clean lines, emphasizing natural light and indoor-outdoor fluidity.

This renovation not only maximizes the rentable area but also redefines the building’s purpose, offering a variety of spatial experiences and great flexibility in use. It involved raising the roof and adding a second level while opening up the center to create an internal courtyard, complete with an operable glass roof that infuses the workplace with natural light and facilitates a true indoor-outdoor environment.
