The building lacked new technical systems, resulting in disadvantages in operation. The lack of advanced energy technologies raised operation costs making the building unsustainable and environmentally unfriendly by today’s standards and needs.
The building had many fundamental problems that made it unsuitable for general use. The mix of poorly constructed elements leads to a condition that look like Sick Building Syndrome, in which environmental circumstances had a negative impact on the user health. Plumbing pipes running through the façade were not only unattractive, but they also compromised the structure of the building and air quality. Spaces have been carefully designed to fulfil the employee’s everyday demands as well as business meetings, and conferences.
The overall approach was focused to preserve the old building for new functions while retaining its historical essence.
