OFFICE BUILDING - DESIGN 4 PROJECT

Design Philosophy

THE FOLLOWING DESIGN WAS CHOSEN TO ACHIEVE DUALITY IN A COHERENT WAY OUT OF THE USUAL THROUGH THE USE OF:

- SIMPLE AND COMPLEX FORMS

- SOLID AND VOID

- HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL

- THIN AND TINY VS HUGE AND BULKY

DESPITE THE MAJOR CONTRAST, YET YOU CAN FEEL THE HARMONY OF THE DESIGN. IT IS A DYNAMIC, STABLE, AND A BALANCED DESIGN. CERTAIN PARTS OF THE FACADES ARE GLAZED TO MAXIMIZE THE VIEW AND GLARE FREE DAYLIGHT. THUS, HAVING A LIGHT, TRANSPARENT, AND WELCOMING NORTH ELEVATION. IN ADDITION, A PERFORATED SKIN ENVELOPING THE UPPER PART OF THE PROJECT (OFFICE AREAS) WAS ADDED TO REDUCE GLARE AND HEAT. AND FINALLY THE DESIGN CONSISTS OF A GREEN ROOF TERRACE TO CREATE A LARGE SOCIAL INTERACTION SPACE.
