Gambit Office / Robert Konieczny + KWK Promes

Gambit, a specialist pipe distribution company, commissioned us to design an office-warehouse building that would serve as its unique showcase. Yet we were asked to do it at the lowest possible cost. So we came up with the idea of using the material they trade in, which they could also acquire at cost. At the same time, we wanted the office and warehouse sections to form a unified whole. As a result, we designed the building to look like a stack of pipes, immediately communicating what the company does. A rectangular production hall once stood on this site, but the immediate surroundings consist of residential houses with steep roofs, often accompanied by long, cubic outbuildings. This inspired the final form of the building.
