Designed by Koko Architects, the construction consists of a new commercial building and an old bread factory. The ground floor is home to shops and restaurants, while the upper floors house the office spaces. The honeycomb structure of the glazed façade is particularly eye-catching, not only lending the building a futuristic look, but also allowing an abundance of natural light into the rooms. A passive house-certified mullion/transom façade from Schüco was used, which is perfect for meeting a wide range of functional and design requirements in luxury residential and commercial projects. It is also Cradle to Cradle certified demonstrating, among other things, its excellent recyclability.
