Project description
The challenge of this project
was how to rebuild two adjacent old town houses destroyed by the civil
war and transform them into one modern office building (the Head
quarters of a leading construction company). All traditional
architectural detailing was reassessed and readapted to high quality
modern standards while preserving its initial refined aesthetical
characteristics. The landscaping had to establish the building’s
relationship with a re-born city and reintroduce these old houses into
the new architectural fabric of the neighborhood.
