This architectural structure is a striking example of modern renovation of a historic building, where a traditional brick structure has been given new life through a bold contemporary addition. The façade of the object demonstrates an interesting contrast of materials and epochs — the historic red-brown brickwork coexists with modern cladding made of Corten steel.
The main part of the building is made of brick with arched windows, characteristic of the industrial architecture of past centuries. This façade retains the original rhythm of window openings and architectural details, including arched elements and decorative masonry. The contemporary addition takes the form of an angular construction of Corten steel panels with their characteristic rusty-orange hue, which organically adjoins the historic building, creating additional volume.
In the new part of the façade, one can notice minimalist glass inserts creating an interesting play of reflections against the matte surface of the Corten steel. Particularly expressive is the corner element with large panoramic glazing, which seems to cut into the historic volume, creating a dynamic composition. The combination of old brickwork with modern materials emphasizes the continuity between past and present, demonstrating an approach to architecture as a living, evolving organism.
Against the clear blue sky with light clouds, the object looks especially expressive, and the natural lighting emphasizes the texture and color of both materials, enhancing their dialogue. This project can be seen as a successful example of adaptive reuse of historical architecture, where modern intervention does not overshadow, but complements and emphasizes the value of historical heritage.
