Application: Internal + External flooring

Architect studio: Team V Architecture

Team V Architecture’s strategy for a.s.r.’s 1970’s office building renovation was to preserve what worked, and upgrade what didn’t. This gargantuan structure with 86,000m2 of floor space was stripped down and fitted with new façades, an underground conference center and a completely new interior including the addition of voids. Remarkably, the office remained in use throughout the renovation. The end result is the astonishing transformation of a dated, imposing workspace into a bright, leafy, open office complex, as well as an ‘excellent’ rating from BREEAM­ for sustainability.

Team V chose Basaltite® stone for external paving, considering the great technical data, and for internal flooring.

Basaltite® stone was cut and installed in free length bands (20, 30, 40 cm.) to make internal and external spaces more extensive.
