rooms on the ground floor are simple bright spaces. The bathrooms are separated by
steel frames with frosted glazing, making them well lit. The upstairs rooms are given
authenticity by the exposed beams and original boards, which have been dismantled
and used as new flooring. All this is complemented by plaster moulds which are used
as tables, lampshades or purely as objects of aesthetic interest. The moulds that were
originally stored here, therefore, remain in place in reduced numbers.

Plenty of potential for celebration

The building of the former sorting plant is the youngest of the whole complex. It dates
back to the middle of the last century. Historically, it is the least valuable building, but
it is still a fine example of industrial construction at that time, which was purely purpo-
se-built. Even then, building materials were recycled during construction. Here we have
followed a conventional design approach. Industrial buildings are ideally transformed
for holding social events. With their open layout, they offer a versatile space that can be
filled with events. The building now houses a restaurant with a kitchen on the ground
floor. Adjacent to the restaurant is the greenhouse, which is a simple steel structure
that we removed and replaced the roofing with glass. The attic space is accessed by a
heavy steel welded staircase, which in turn functions as an art object in its own right.
In the attic, there is a large hall to which we have retained its authenticity. All the struc-
tures are original with traces of age-old wear and tear.
