.PROFILE
NK 10 OFFICE BUILDING This is one of the first projects I have worked on since early stages of design and it is already an architectural icon in Luanda City in Angola. Situated in the Centre of Luanda City in Angola, this 12 storey office building has approx 150 sqm per floor. The desgin concept of the building was related to the dynamic of the city centre. Also, the client required big balconys in each floor facing the sea. Although by planning issues it was not permited balconys, the intencion was to recreate a big sea view. The plan is a simple office open plan scheme with common lifts, lobby and toilets.
