This office-warehouse building, which we designed for a specialist pipe distribution company, was intended to serve as a showcase for their headquarters. However, we were asked to do it at the lowest possible cost.

Since the building was meant to be their signature landmark, we came up with the idea of referencing the material they trade in, even though it could not be used directly for the façade. Instead, the it was made of inexpensive, raw aluminum sheets.

We wanted the office and warehouse sections to form a unified whole. As a result, we designed the building to resemble a stack of pipes, immediately communicating the company’s field of business.

A production hall once stood on this site, but the immediate surroundings consist of residential houses, often accompanied by outbuildings. This inspired the final form of the building. Gambit forms a frontage from the street, while, when viewed from the residential district, its fragmented mass blends into the dispersed urban fabric.
