Head Office Renovation
From humble beginnings in a corner of Jochen
Kofahl’s garage, Hydraform grew to a point that new
premises were needed and a house was purchased
for occupation in 1995. Then even that wasn’t enough
and the property had to be completely redeveloped to
better serve the needs of the burgeoning business.
Enter renowned architect Peter Rich, who was brought
on board specifically to head up the renovation. His design
instructions called upon him to incorporate Hydraform’s
interlocking soil cement blocks into the existing structure.
The final result was an aesthetically pleasing modern
building with great thermal properties.
Beginning
in Jochen’s
garage,
Hydraform
moved to new
premises in
1995.
