Office Headquarter

Third Year Design Course - 2018 A

A

Working in a headquarter’s office means being part of a whole machine, but still inhibit a sense of singularity.

The design of the building will offer these two feelings simultaneously under a complete modular system.

The design also creates an experience of being in an outdoor-indoor interconnected sequence of spaces.
