The project involved the comprehensive redesign and change of use of an existing office building into residential apartments suitable for both short- and long-term lease. The transformation sought to reposition the structure within the urban fabric, enhancing both performance and identity.

The existing façades required a complete reconfiguration, leading to the introduction of a new lightweight cladding system that envelops the building in a contemporary architectural skin.

The design concept draws inspiration from the ancient Greek Chiton, reinterpreting the traditional garment through a sequence of linear, unfolding panels. These lightweight elements emulate the drapery and soft folds of fabric across the elevations, creating depth, rhythm and movement while offering solar shading and a renewed urban presence.

The existing façades required a complete reconfiguration, leading to the introduction of a new lightweight cladding system that envelops the building in a contemporary architectural skin.

The sculptural panels are not merely aesthetic; they play a functional role by incorporating outdoor spaces, such as balconies, into the design, offering both shading and weather protection.
Inside, the apartments feature minimalistic white interiors, creating a serene and airy atmosphere that emphasizes simplicity and light.
The ground floor was designed to convert the existing shopfront and offer new residential spaces, by recessing the building from the street and adding dense vegetation.
