The 1930 warehouse facade has been renovated several years ago. Different use of the structure will change the structure. Now we accept the structure as it is. We conserve it as a remembrance of the past. But a building can only survive in time when it is in use, when it has a value. Our philosophy is to keep the building and to add elements that will make the building more useful but at the same time shows that these elements are new and not from 1930 but from 2011.
