The refurbishment of the Chile headquarters of the GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit) transforms the project’s strict budgetary constraints into very distinct spatial conditions:
Thick Screen – A translucent yellow screen is used to turn entrance, reception and patio into a single indoor/outdoor space. The strong hue of the mesh visually unifies the heterogeneous surrounding. Parts of this borderline are programmatically thickened.
Lenticular Space – The new corridor connecting the reception and offices appears to change continually as one moves through it. Fixing the clients’ logo to a lenticular glass facade that runs along the length of the corridor creates an effect that that changes the perfectly recognizable visual identity into an abstract line pattern step by step.
