Textil Headquarters

Textil's commercial building is located in Uzice's industrial zone, between the motorway, the railway, warehouses, a football field and a cemetery. It has therefore continued to expand internally for most of its past. The new building has literally swallowed the old one. The architects delivered what they themselves describe as 'anti-design' in reaction to the surroundings and context. Ignoring all those external factors they are powerless to change, they concentrated on the interior. The result is a building with an interesting perforated façade that reveals nothing of the very efficient spatial organization inside. The building breathes from the inside out: it has its own micro climate, regulated by a one-storey atrium and eight roof lights on the flat floor. Although the old structure has been completely absorbed by the new one, it is still clearly defined by rectangular columns and visible beams.
