The temporariness of offices versus the value of historical space. The office of BK company resides on the top floor of the newly reconstructed historical building Silocentrála from 1902. We entered the project in its initial phase, where the interior was represented by original historical components such as semicircle windows and subtle cable columns supporting the arc roof. Some features such as raised floors, white plaster, toilets, and lowered plasterboard were amended by the developer.
During the process, we thought about the interior design of offices and their temporariness. We decided to upgrade the already existing features and add functional components that can be used for everyday life leaving out any unnecessary decorations. We wanted to minimize material, human, and energy resources. We focused on each and every functional and technical detail that needed to be added. We chose windows and cable columns as the main points of the interior. Other components were added to serve the temporary purpose of the space.
