Energy company IBAarau didn’t just get a new name (Eniwa): it also moved into new headquarters. The new building has numerous wings with plenty of room for offices and the in-house workshop as well as the large maintenance depot. In the stairwells of the office building, the oversized sheet-copper letters designating the storeys have a sculptural quality; otherwise, the signage is understated, with a fine, silvery stroke width.
