1. Project Scale
Timmerhuis OMA | Rotterdam, The Netherlands | 2015
Toni-Areal EM2N | Zurich, Switzerland | 2014
Low2no REX | Helsinki, Finland | 2009
Area: 45,000 sqm | Despite the total sqm, the project is not too large. However, the narrow streets that surround it, emphasise its presence within the urban fabric from a human perspective. The building maintains the same height as its context and densifies towards the centre, as a strategic move to look more permeable from the street.
Area: 125,000 sqm | Due to the multiple requirements of the brief and the total sqm, the building itself looks extremely massive. The materials selection also strengthen the volumetric composition. However, the urban context complements this project adequately by having other buildings with similar characteristics located at a significant distance apart.
Area: 35,000 sqm | From a human perspective, the building does not seem massive because it keeps the same height as the surrounding buildings and, strategically, the density is injected through two svelte residential towers opposite from each other that constitute landmarks within the urbanscape. A large open space in the middle makes it even more permeable.
