New Construction of a Historic Building

The proposal for the historic office building aims to be loyal to the original style of the historical building. Different architectural features like arched windows, doors, cornices… are added to the design in a way that facilitates the modern function of the building.
 
First Floor:
A central entrance to the office area opens to a foyer with a small lounge and a grand wooden staircase that leads to the upper area. A side office is also added as per client’s request. It is visible to the outside foyer through a glass window decorated with a classic metal grill for privacy.
The leasable area has two doors. This allows the future division of the space into two leasable areas or can serve as a main entrance and a service entrance. A toilet is added in this area.
 
Second Floor:
 
The grand wooden staircase opens to a reception and lounge. The office area has its own entrance that leads to a conference room, two private offices, an open work area and a storage area. The external lobby also leads to a staff kitchen/ rest area, a toilet and a cleaning supplies storage.
 
Third Floor:


The private area is accessible through its own door. Inside there is a conference room for six people, the manager’s office, executive assistant’s office and a private lounge.
The third floor also has a large conference room with an external foyer. A service area also includes two toilets and a pantry.
 
Roof Plan:


 An accessible roof terrace for events is added as per the client’s request. A storage area and a small pantry/ technical room are also designed to serve the events held in this area.



Architectural Style:

 The external design of the building borrows from the style of the attached pictures. Other materials are used to keep the cost within the budget range. Stucco on concrete replaces stone. More classical features are also added like the potted topiary trees and vintage lamps.
