The char­ac­ter­is­tic post-war ap­pear­ance of the Mills, with the link­ing sec­tion just above the wa­ter and the logo, has cre­ated a spa­tial mem­ory of the place which we de­cided to pre­serve. We added a cosy green square in the form of an em­bank­ment hid­ing the garage and serv­ing as an open pub­lic space. The ex­ist­ing win­dow open­ings have been en­larged, mak­ing the orig­i­nal out­line vis­i­ble while vary­ing the de­gree of trans­parency of the new glaz­ing. The dif­fer­ence be­tween the new and the his­toric is still clear. The build­ing takes on a dif­fer­ent form de­pend­ing on the amount of light and tem­per­a­ture, which may seem more dy­namic be­cause of the mo­bile façades.
