clark of the work ofďŹ ce warehouse dwelling complex

clerk of the work office

this office complex is located on the other side of the test cell opposite to the cube. the building contains three separate volumes: the main office where meetings happen, storage room and an open space in the middle which connects the other two volumes on each side horizontally by aligning the doors. this horizontal pathway also allows cross ventilation to happen throughout the entire building. curved pathway and trees planted along both sides extend the existing curved wall to the office complex, creating a transition between the cube and the office, as well as providing a green canopy for people walking by.

all three units are white painted concrete, and they are in contrast to the grey conrete color of the test cell and the cube. the wood slats sunscreen blocks out excess sunshine in the summer, keeping the open space from being overheated.
