Conceptual approach
The overall configuration of the building is rooted in the contextual reading of the surrounding area and precise limitations of the site and the designing program. Defining a precise but narrow framework, where we set out to define an office an work environment for the 21st century. Capable of synthesizing the workspace, internal flow, clear sectioning between public, semi-public and private functions into a seemingly seamless setup, balancing the clear requirements for security while delivering enough transparency for the project to become a vibrant urban landmark in dialog with the culture of the city.
The project
In our proposal, the architectural concept represents itself through a series of rammed earth cubes connected to each other with transparent corridors which expands through the cubes creating a soft; modest; rhythmic structure enabling the simultaneous perception of different activities through reflection and transparency in private areas. Where the interior of the building is characterized by openness and atriums opening up through the structure in a clear interconnecting horizontal hierarchy, consisting on a semi-open ground floor where the workspaces are covered with white roofs due to high temperatures and the halls are covered with green roofs, creating bioclimatic conditions in the structure.
