These commercial premises combine a row of offices at the front with two large warehouses at the rear. The two sections are linked by a dispatch corridor capped by a plastic vaulted rooflight. The offices have facades of self-bearing glass sheets. Different tints of enamel on the non-transparent sheets produce a pattern on the facade under certain lighting conditions.
