Factory House reimagines a modest industrial structure as a contemporary residential retreat. The project retains the exact form and volume of the former factory, reconstructing it with precision and sensitivity to its past. The transformation does not erase history—it reframes it.
Key to the design is the preservation and reinterpretation of the building’s original garden-facing window openings. These historical elements are carefully integrated into the new structure, offering continuity while adapting to the needs of modern living. Through proportion, rhythm, and subtle detailing, the past is honored without nostalgia.
The upper floor serves as the core living area, conceived as a generous, light-filled space. Here, the architecture opens upward—culminating in a rooftop terrace that provides privacy, outdoor comfort, and visual relief in an otherwise compact footprint. Large windows and roof access bathe the interiors in natural light and extend the living space into the sky.
Minimalist in gesture yet rich in character, the design emphasizes clear spatial organization and material simplicity. The building sits quietly in its garden context, blending old and new into a cohesive whole that feels grounded, thoughtful, and adaptable.
Factory House is an exercise in architectural restraint and reuse. It demonstrates how even small-scale interventions can carry powerful narratives—where preservation becomes an active design tool and everyday spaces gain new identity. The result is a home that is both rooted and renewed.
