Description:
An old boiler house in Neo Gothic style was restored and converted into the factory plant central canteen. The historical significance of this building was thought worthwhile to be preserved, with a notably rafter roof and strut-frame. Visible concrete struts for strengthening the original construction were necessary and harmonize with the old structure. A new gallery was built to show the height of the room and give more space and comfort to the user.
