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.

(01) Narrative

(01) Narrative

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.
