Multi-level adaptive reuse office interior with exposed steel trusses
An adaptive reuse office interior by Architecturefirm showcasing how heavy industrial steel and brick structures can be carved with terraced floorplates and generous overhead skylighting.
- What we like about this project
- Large ceiling fans are hung directly from the intersecting nodes of the overhead steel crane rail and truss system.

- Geometry
- Expansive industrial volume featuring a stepped multi-level workspace configuration connected by a central timber stair, beneath an exposed steel truss and monitor-roof system.
- Structural guess
- Heavy structural steel frame with historic masonry bearing walls and concrete floor slabs.
- Spatial scale
- Grand double-to-triple height industrial interior accommodating multiple mezzanines and workstations.
- Lighting
- Abundant top-down natural light filtering through north-facing monitor skylights, supplemented by industrial pendant fixtures and suspended ceiling fans.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, airy, and productive, balancing raw industrial heritage with crisp white minimalist architectural inserts.
- Environmental context
- Interior of an industrial adaptive reuse warehouse or factory building with large perimeter multi-pane windows.
- Spatial experience
- The expansive vertical hall feels both monumental and intimate, organizing collaborative workstations into tiered plateaus bathed in overhead daylight.
- Composition rhythm
- Strong structural rhythm set by the repeating black steel roof trusses and vertical mullions of the perimeter industrial windows.
