The design process for the addition of a second-storey office over an existing warehouse building proved to be an interesting challenge. Not only would the addition cantilever over the structure in two directions, but rooftop access and mechanical equipment were to be concealed within a new roof form. The merging of the old and new would be achieved by integrating the existing fin features of the warehouse below to maintain continuity between built forms. Though the project was ultimately abandoned, it remains a useful exercise in renovation strategies that can be applied to future projects.
