Description

This project is the result of the rehabilitation of an old cotton warehouse built over 50 years ago, and its transformation into a furniture showroom and warehouse.The reviving essence of the old building led the design team to take a restoration approach, in spite of no financial limits and the possibility of demolishing and constructing a new building.

In addition to the physical restoration, enlivening the spatial memories, as the most prominent goal in the rehabilitation process, was taken into consideration. Everything which was added to this building was done with a contemporary language, and anything that could remain was an element of spatial memory, and thus restored. A reminiscence of the memory of light entering the dark space of the old hall, turned into the design concept for the new pierced facade of the showroom.
