office façades construction as obstruction conversion costs
> façade physically outdated > load-bearing beams: lower ceilings > façade and inner walls
> unattractive for converted function > steel reinforcement restricts floor openings > not sufficient knowledge
> closed curtain-wall system > not sufficient sound insulation > high risks / unexpected costs
