Cost

After a fire the new building was commissioned to accomodate office, showroom, factory and warehouse facilities within the total floor area of the original and a limited budget. The factory to house sophisticated foam cutting plant. The showroom to be spacious with good light. The site in an older area of Penrose is contexturally grey. Existing site levels determined a 2 level building with factory warehousing at the lower level and an office/showroom above for direct street access and visibility. 

The original footprint covered the whole site. The new is more compact with direct benefits to the client of efficient site utilisation and a bonus double height showroom.
