The refurbishment of the first floor of the Warehouse 1 of Lesol is an industrial project we feel really passionate about. Trying to develop strategies for new understandings of multifunctional open office spaces, while at the same time maintaining the original industrial look.Working on generating a new timeless aesthetic that represents the coming family business generation, and a new marketing strategy not only for clients but for the company itself.

Kenneth Frampton Anonymous architecture is a theme that interests me greatly, as does industrial architecture, for they are works with no direct message, capable of creating very beautiful atmospheres, personages that do not speak but make themselves understood perfectly, without an author and without intentionality. They express themselves but not at the behest of an architect. In anonymous architecture, in villages, in the mountains, people build things and only later intervene with signs: they make a door to enter, a window to let in light, a roof to provide shelter; they put the fireplace inside for warmth, and the form is a function of the topography. Five operations that do not intentionally contain a message for humanity. ... This is also true of industrial architecture... The architect, without false modesty, has to confine himself to making a thing without pretending that it is art. This is what interests me about anonymous architecture. (Eduardo Souto de Moura in an interview with Monical Daniele, 2002.)
