We considered to build company facilities within the warehouse space. 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.

Metal used for a facade refers simply to adjacent railroad track, containers and transport in general.
