Here's How They Did It !
I have never seen this done before , but I assume it must have been done in various countries .
This is an upstairs office in Tauranga , here in New Zealand .
It looks really cool at night !
This is it during the day -- still pretty cool !
But look closely , and you realise it is a 40 year old building , with a fake facade !
You can see the basic windows , the grey coloursteel roof , etc behind the facade . Very clever use of angles and lighting and shapes and sizes , constructed out of ACP ( aluminium composite panels ) over a basic frame ( possibly galvanised steel for longevity ? ) .
Very clever upgrade IMO .

These 2 units I bought in about 1991 ( for about $220,000 for the 2 ! ) . From memory , they were the 5th and 6thn commercial premises I had ever bought . Worth about $750k each now . Can you guess that I still own them haha ?
