The new offices for icoma are implemented on an existing space in a residential building. The adaptive reuse of the existing space involved the aperture and definition of two small glass courtyards, new light sources for the ground level, that allowed for an open plan in visual continuity while helping to clarify transits and the definition of static versus dinamic areas. There are two main strategies ruling the project; one from inside-out (opening a former dead space to light), and another from outside in (conceling the work space at street level with a veil for privacy).
