This three storey commercial building is a magnificent example of integration with the historical context. Outside, it presents respectful proportions and dimensions but these hide a contemporary block of offices focused, by way of it’s entrance, on the waterfront. The three floors are vertically related. The terrace on the ground floor creates a space much greater than that of a typical façade. It is a simple and efficient building, an exercise in the quest for what is truly essential in a small size commercial building.
