Phalt architect has designed a replacement building for metal workshop and office which is located at the Limmat River water, Zurich, Switzerland.

The bold cantilever canopy with single materialization is the main feature for the project that set in heterogeneous urban situation.

Structurely, in order to provide additional strength, the galvanized steel big roof is to be reinforced by large rivets.
