The project focuses on enhancing the original structure of the factory, a large concrete building with skylights and an open-plan design. The restoration and transformation process involved a thorough review of the modifications made in the 1990s, with the goal of reclaiming the factory’s intrinsic value. Each intervention was carried out discreetly, without competing with the original architecture, and focused on preserving its essence and authenticity.

The restoration of the original factory was not limited to the recovery of architectural elements, but also involved adapting the structure to accommodate a demanding architectural program. The interior design was conceived to house various functional areas, including production zones, offices, a showroom, and storage spaces. Additionally, a spacious observation terrace was incorporated, serving as a meeting area, offering panoramic views, and providing a place for relaxation.

A key aspect of the project was sustainability. From the initial design phase to construction, environmentally friendly practices and materials were applied. The use of a minimalist white steel structure and large glass panels not only allowed the existing architecture to remain the focal point but also maximized the influx of natural light and reduced the need for artificial lighting. Additionally, color was introduced through the furniture and decor, providing flexibility and adaptability to the spaces over time.
