A workshop building for a furniture maker, organised around a top-lit concrete court.
A courtyard of board-marked concrete, where making is visible from every floor.
Four floors of workshops, showroom and offices wrap a central court. The concrete keeps the impression of the timber boards used to cast it — the same timber the client works with every day.
