BUSO apartments

Architectural concept
The closed industry building contains two floors. By demolishing the roof- and floorplates, patios and an inner street are created which allow the sun to enter the middle of the building. All the lofts are accessible from the semi-public inner street. The inner street is connected via stairs to the alleys through the building block.

Materiality
To enhance the spirit of the old industry terrain, the exterior of the factory is cladded with Corten-steel panels. The inner walls of the patios, the inner street and the added volumes on the roof are finished with poly-carbonate panels.

In short, old versus new, massive versus transparent, rough versus polished, dark versus light.
