Metaform architects Transforms a Warehouse into a Light-Filled DSL Headquarters Office<\/h3>\r\n

A<\/span>\u00a0neglected exhibition hall in Luxembourg, originally built as a warehouse, has been transformed by\u00a0Metaform architects<\/a>\u00a0to create a light-filled, collaborative office space.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The former warehouse in Steinsel was renovated to create the new headquarters of DSL, a company specialised in IT solutions.\u00a0The concept aimed to adapt the warehouse whilst preserving a flavour of certain key characteristics of the original building.\u00a0The building contains 1.950 square meters of office space, which includes a reception area, a staff kitchen, meeting rooms, open-plan offices, exhibition space, an outdoor terrace area and ample storage space.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

The main emphasis of the project was to bring in more natural daylight, creating an efficient, clean and bright office space where people and communication take center stage.<\/p>\r\n

As you enter the space you are welcomed by a bright, double-height reception area. Light filters through from the large bay windows and from the skylights set into the steel roof. The overhaul included entirely gutting and renovating the feature skylights.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Inside, a central statement staircase made from oak doubles as a common area. This creates a mix of semi-private, informal work and social areas maintaining an open-plan layout.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Metaform architects chose a simple material palette including pure white walls, grey steel beams but also oak floor paneling and detailing in contrast with the original characteristics of the warehouse.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

To finish the space, offices and meeting rooms are decorated with some large plants to help create a calming work environment. Through the introduction of light, the architects sought to foster a positive and welcoming working environment. The choice of furniture also inspires a \u201chomely\u201d atmosphere.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
