We are a group of architects united by the passion for our work and the desire to bring new qualities to the surrounding built space, Format 4 comes as a proposal to mediate the relationship between human and architecture. Our approach relies on a permanent analysis of our customers needs in parallel with the requirements of the locations studied. Usual or familiar pattems and forms are always discussed and compared with contemporary development directions to create new spatial experiences and to bring a special touch to each individual project.

The proposal aims to transform a single-family residence into a mixed-use building, serving as both a showroom and office space for Dacca Group Trade – Brands Furniture. The goal was for the new, better structure and to improve the existing image along the street. The building was designed to accommodate all the necessary functions for the efficient operation of the company's specific activities. It aims to provide spaces that are in connection with the surrounding environment, while also being friendly and bright, achieved through durable, high-quality architecture. The new proposal aspires to be a source of inspiration, to be distinguished by coherence, good sense, minimalism, and attitude, attributes that the old building lacked. The new envelope of the building, significantly extended compared to the initial one, aims to improve the property's proportions with a rhythmic, metallic texture, uniting old and new elements, and integrating existing windows with new ones. Through the rhythm of the facade, through the slats, there was flexibility in placing certain windows or perforations, to result in a well-proportioned and dynamic composition, offering an interior perspective on the showroom. It was also desired to expose each floor through the compositional registers of the facade and to emphasize the entrance within the building's volume. The architecture and materials used reflect the internal functions of the space: the first two levels feature a showroom and workspace designated for specialized audiences, while the setback level hosts the individual, private offices of the developers, thus creating a well-proportioned composition. The building, by the nature of its function, aims to facilitate dialogue between architects, designers, and specialists from Dacca Group Trade – Brands Furniture. A space has been created that inspires and gives the freedom to think of outstanding designs with the help of products and services offered by the host.
