An old mine facility, raised on eight reinforced concrete posts, was transformed into a 200 m2 loft. The interior, already containing some partitions, was cleaned and fitted out with a new residential programme; the only new additions were a toilet and a dressing room.
The interior house style for ING Bank branches will be applied throughout Poland. Without using traditional partition walls it manages to distinguish self-banking, a customer service area and back-office facilities. The use of mobile and modular interior elements allows for a flexible rearrangement to suit changing needs.
In a large residential development designed by several architects, medusagroup's contribution consists of two parallel gallery-access slabs separated by a wide avenue of green public space and an additional freestanding building.
This brick granary building, built between 1892 and 1914, was once part of the Prussian Military Unit barracks complex. A rearrangement of the interior spaces and addition of two Cor-Ten steel circulation cores resulted in 30 spacious lofts ranging from 79 to 320 m2 on four levels.
