About Rackson House Edificio per uffici
Rackson House è un edificio per uffici realizzato attraverso il recupero di una struttura storica a George Town, Penang, Malesia. Il blocco esistente conserva il tetto storico, la veranda, i bow window e le scale, e ospita gli spazi principali. Un nuovo ampliamento in acciaio e vetro è inserito senza toccare le pareti antiche, che rimangono visibili con le tracce degli interventi del passato. Il nuovo blocco è più aperto, più alto e coperto da un tetto in vetro, e contiene gli spazi di servizio. Una placida vasca d'acqua riflettente incontra la base del volume vetrato e specchia il sito. La luce naturale invade gli interni.
