The Design
About Rackson House Пословна зграда
Rackson House је пословна зграда настала реновирањем старе структуре у Џорџтауну, на Пенангу у Малезији. Постојећи блок задржава свој историјски кров, тераса, еркер прозоре и степенице, и садржи главне просторе. Нова допуна од челика и стакла уметнута је без додиривања старих зидова, који остају видљиви са траговима претходних интервенција. Нови блок је отворенији, виши и прекривен стакленим кровом, и садржи помоћне просторе. Мирно рефлектујуће језерце додирује основу стакленог волумена и одражава простор локације. Природна светлост испуњава ентеријере.

The existing block is developed with a more closed character, maintains the heritage roof, and houses the main programmatic spaces; while the new block consists mostly of servicing spaces and is developed with an open character, with greater height, and with a glass roof. The floor plan maintains its original heritage and flavor with elements such as verandah, bay windows and stairs that reminds of the building's history. The annex, a gallery and multipurpose space is separated by a subtle corridor right next to the building. The old walls are kept without any demolition, leaving in sight the details and traces from past times and interventions that have manifested since.
