The project began as a single-story office building in Tashkent, reconstructed and expanded into a two-story structure to meet the client’s growing spatial needs. Rather than simply adding floor area, the design reorganized the building around a private courtyard — introducing natural light, greenery, and a sheltered outdoor zone previously absent from the original structure. The material palette was reconsidered to express both continuity and change: warm stone grounds the building at street level, while metal cladding distinguishes the new upper floor. For the client, the outcome transformed a modest single-story workplace into a calm, contemporary office environment — one where the courtyard now serves daily as an informal meeting space and quiet retreat, reflecting a shift toward more human-centered, comfort-driven workplace design in the neighborhood.
