project description

The site located in the heart of an industrial suburb has a state of the art spares warehouse and a corporate office. The warehouse located at the rear with a state of the art cardek stacking system houses the spares.
A complex physical requirement for a corporate office was stacked into two blocks based on the type of activity into work related spaces and interactive spaces with a courtyard acting as green central buffer juxtaposed in between. The courtyard in the basement was connected with the entrance lobby at the upper level by a water trough that also acts as a natural humidifier which passively cools the office spaces.

The building is an expression in concrete which also creates a subtle branding for the company. The south west facing corporate office was dealt by cantilevering the facade progressively above the floors thereby creating mutually shading surfaces and reducing the dependency on air conditioning. Less than 20% of the building is air conditioned which is a hallmark of its climatic design.
