​

Two neglected but prominent German-colonial buildings, originally the maternity hospital for the city, converted into upscale offices of NUST top management. Labyrinth of add-on storage spaces &car-ports removed to reveal original structures, then linked with central glass lobby connecting east and west access areas. Parking re-configured into pedestrian walkway and seating areas to generate public open spaces and enhance building settings. Interiors preserved where structurally sound, with alterations in clear and sandblasted glass walling to distinguish new and old, as well as bring daylight into previously gloomy interiors.
