Axapta Masters

Skopje, North Macedonia

The Main Floor

The noisy functions are gathered at one end and given a door, which is a cheaper answer than treating the whole floor for a problem that visits it. Everything else follows from it, and the parts that appear elaborate are consequences of that single decision rather than additions to it.

What the drawings describe as a workplace planned for long stretches of concentration broken by short bursts of noise is, on site, simply the shape of the place — which is the point at which a scheme stops being a diagram.

The detail that carries it: the noisy functions are gathered at one end and given a door, which is a cheaper answer than treating the whole floor for a problem that visits it. It is repeated throughout, which is what keeps the building consistent rather than merely coherent.

“What we were after was a workplace planned for long stretches of concentration broken by short bursts of noise — nothing more complicated, and nothing less rigorous.”
