Lactogal Office Hub

The brief asks for shared offices, mostly for technology companies, without losing the industrial reading of the building. The project answers by letting the shell hold several kinds of work rather than one fixed layout: floor plates organised for a density that can shift, furniture and planting closer to a domestic room than a row of desks. The shell stays loose enough to reorganise as tenants change, closer to how it worked as a factory than to how most offices are built.

At site scale, the two buildings and the ground between them read as one system. A pedestrian route ties the site to the neighbourhood, planted with the vegetation already there, cutting noise from the road and from the offices at once. The space between the buildings becomes shared ground for workers and neighbours, opening into a green corridor that links the site to the parks around it.

A mesh skin wraps the existing structure and filters the air reaching the interior, giving the ventilation the factory always had a measure of control it never had. It shades and draws a breeze through the building in summer, shields against cold in winter, and keeps rain off what sits underneath.
