01 — The challenge
This did not start on an empty plot. An existing building had to remain, and a new section had to rise beside it: levels, geometry and the way the two structures meet governed every decision that followed. The ground itself called for deep excavation and perimeter retaining walls before the first reinforcement went in.
02 — Our solution
The structure combines both materials where each performs best: concrete for the two levels and the perimeter walls, steel for the part that had to go up fast. The envelope was closed with sandwich panels — insulation and finished surface in a single operation — and the elevation took on the client’s colour identity, with the curved corner and the ground-floor glazing defining the entrance.

The outcome
The store now reads as one building: the existing section and the extension share the same elevation. We delivered its connection to the road network along with the building — the junction, parking, road markings, lighting and landscaping were all carried out by the same team, with no second contractor and no gap in responsibility between the building and the road.
