Text description provided by the architects. The project is a convertion of an existing warehouse located in the Brasília´s industrial sector. The area is suffering a rapid transformation with the creation of residential buildings and commercial buildings side by side with poorly built industrial warehouses. The client wanted the building to work as a furniture shop, an art gallery and a space for cooking classes. The budget was very tight and therefore we proposed to refurbish the existing building and “wrap it” with a new layer of construction, keeping the existing structure, roof and most of the existing walls. The idea was to make the new layer work as an element of transformation.
