a Shoebox diorama

Architecture & Interior Design Architecture

This two-Face office building has a modern and classical face. The new classical facade on one side, radiates allure and status and blends seamlessly into the historic ribbon structure of the city. As if a missing link is put in the historical chain. The other side of the building is recessed relative to the street, a playful modern shoebox is put on a black base and slid into a glass facade. This very pronounced statement hides itself to the unwary passerby. A hybrid building with two very different faces.
