The historic warehouse from the late 19th century, similar to dozens of others that are to be found along the railway.
Nice proportions, simple design, practicality.
Its position is advantageous for the builder - a forwarding and transport company.
Then we decided not to. We rather chose to revive unused adjoining house which had been recently poorly renovated.
We let demolish the floor with weirdly formed gable roof (the product of previous adjustments) and we construct a new floor with flat roof.
At the same time, they allow kind of nostalgic view into the past – looking at the railway and adjacent buildings that are changing all the time.
Metal used for a facade refers simply to adjacent railroad track, containers and transport in general.
