Existing structure appears to be a former dormitory / educational building with long corridor organization and repetitive window rhythm. The interior photos show a reinforced concrete structure with adequate ceiling height, natural lighting, radiator heating system, and simple rectangular rooms suitable for office conversion.
The proposed design converts the building into a contemporary multi-functional office environment with:
Open office areas
Private management offices
Meeting rooms
Co-working zones
Reception and waiting areas
Kitchenette & staff lounge
Archive / technical rooms
Flexible workspaces
"Industrial Minimal Workspace"
The design language combines:
Neutral grey and white tones
Black aluminum/glass office partitions
Warm wood textures
Linear lighting systems
Acoustic ceiling panels
Modern open-plan workstations
The existing linear window system becomes the main architectural advantage by providing strong daylight penetration into the workspace.
Located near the main circulation core.

The goal is to transform the existing institutional atmosphere into:
Bright
Professional
Flexible
Collaborative
Modern
while maintaining construction economy and minimizing structural intervention.
Because the existing structure already supports modular rooms:
Recommended approach:
Preserve primary structural walls
Use lightweight glass partitions
Keep existing radiator lines where possible
Upgrade electrical infrastructure
Introduce raised flooring only where necessary
This reduces renovation cost significantly.
The final atmosphere should resemble a hybrid of:
Contemporary tech office
Creative studio workspace
Scandinavian industrial interior
with strong daylight and efficient circulation.
Accurate digital survey (laser measurement)
CAD redraw of existing plan
Furniture layout planning
Electrical & lighting project
HVAC redesign
3D visualization renderings
Material board preparation
Construction documentation
The large room shown in the photos can become:
16 workstations
Central collaboration table

Conference area
Recommended architectural references:
Scandinavian office interiors
Industrial loft offices
Contemporary startup hubs
Adaptive reuse office projects
Key atmosphere:
Bright natural light
Matte textures
Thin black detailing
Warm wood balance
Clean geometry
The existing building has strong potential for adaptive reuse as a modern office facility due to:
Good daylight access
Modular room structure
Efficient circulation potential
Economical renovation possibilities
Flexible spatial configuration
With contemporary interior interventions and improved facade identity, the building can successfully function as a professional office and co-working environment.
