UAO power office

The former of UAO power office is the distribution motor room of the industrial plant. The original generator room has a total height of 8 meters, The towering space like a church is very shocking. The sun pouring down from the skylight on the top and the window on the mezzanine, is shining on the smoky and burning old wall, which is full of historical traces, with a strong sense of space. The original starting point of the design is to retain and carry forward the high-rise space sense, so the new design is very restrained, only a small space volume is implanted into the large space, and the final decision is to rely on the original two-story side to design a new column span width mezzanine to retain most of the vertical of the hall. The purpose of designing the mezzanine on one side also makes the sense of sequence of the long axis obtained by the skylight retained. The mezzanine is only supported by a 200mm diameter column in the middle, and the folding staircase strengthens the weight and floating sense of the mezzanine. The light and ingenious central column contrasts with the thick and historic wall around - the new volume is reflected by pure white.
