KLANG / 24

The existing structure was still strong, but the layout no longer served a changed business

KLANG / 24 is a fictional brief for a building-materials company that needed to combine offices, product development, a materials lab, and client reception in an existing warehouse — without demolishing a primary structure that still worked well.

The aim was not to make the warehouse look like a typical office. It was to let the industrial character become part of the company’s identity, and to let clients see the materials-development process in person.

Challenge

Too little light, split circulation, and teams that could not see one another work

The original building was designed for storage: deep plans, few openings, and routes suited to goods more than collaboration. Dividing it with solid office walls would have made it darker and wasted the value of the existing structure.

Approach

Create a new central axis, and let the existing structure remain the main setting

We kept the steel frame, concrete floor, and original height. We then opened a light slot along the building’s centre, placed stairs and shared space as a connecting spine, and put the materials lab where clients could see it from the visitor route.

Office areas are divided with translucent systems and furniture instead of solid walls where they are not needed, so light travels farther and teams can sense one another’s work.

Outcome

A headquarters that works, teaches, and tells the product story in one building

The new project links internal work with the client experience. Meeting space can open to the showroom, the lab becomes part of the visit, and the warehouse structure helps the brand talk about materials in a natural way.

Primary structure retained: 82%
Increase in daylight: 3×
Functions combined in one building: 4 units
Primary user paths designed: 3 routes
