The Localiza Labs project involved the retrofit of five industrial warehouses from the 1950s, facing challenges such as compromised structures and roofing issues. The renovation included replacing the wooden roofing with a metallic one featuring insulated tiles and installing a solar power plant. The pandemic impacted the progress, but strategies were adopted to overcome material and labour shortages. With a focus on well-being, the project incorporated decompression areas and collaborative spaces, achieving LEED Platinum certification for its sustainable initiatives.
