Steel-framed arched windows feature in a simple industrial design.
Clarendon Works
The design of this private office building responds to the client’s vision for a simple industrial warehouse environment while maintaining a familiar sense of scale with neighbouring architecture. Open plan interiors with arched windows offer unobstructed views of the sky and the surrounding tree canopy, creating connection to nature.
The building was constructed from precast concrete with a timber boarded finish, which was popularised in the 1960s by Le Corbusier, who famously coined the phrase “béton brut,” representing unfinished concrete. Steel-framed windows and stairs were carefully selected to honour the site’s rich industrial heritage.
