The Slot design team tackled the conversion of a seven-story office building erected in the 1960s into an eye-catching, mixed-use complex. With retail locales on the street level, designers framed each apartments in a distinctive boxed pattern, topped off with a generous leisure terrace. More than a facelift, the complete refurbishment was achieved without need of major investment in structural components. The renovation of this long-abandoned office block achieves a magnetic, striking new look that is both structurally sound and financially astute.
