INCUBATOR

In a team of four we designed an incubator aimed at startups in the pharmaceutical or chemistry sectors. I introduced the idea of organizing all spaces along a trajectory of an upward spiral. Startups can rent out more space along the spiral as they expand. The spiral then starts to resemble the growth and the iteration happening within the building.

The spiral lifts from the ground to allow a covered entrance for visitors and cars. The spiral allows for interaction throughout the building, which is the essence of an incubator.

The spiral is continued in the underground parking garage layout.

In the center of the building you will find the spiral that continues throughout the building. This makes for an inclusive experience and the glass facade displays the activity on different floors to anyone who uses the spiral.

Underground the spiral continues the parking garage. No space is ramps and two hundred parking can be achieved by only digging we would dig for laying foundations.

The spiral ascends along a courtyard garden bringing air, light and nature in the workspace.

Four vertical blocks accommodate elevators, restrooms and vertical shafts for amenities. Sunlight penetrates deep into the building thanks to the patio in the middle of the spiral.

The outer facade is a glass facade with exterior vertical wind bracing. Those serve as shading devices, assisted by blinds on the southern facade. The spiral’s rotation is expressed in the facade.

Four utility blocks provide for vertical facilities like elevators and ventilation shafts. Restrooms are included in these blocks so they can use vertical shafts without compromising on flexibility of the adjacent modules.

Sunlight penetrates deep into the building thanks to the patio in the middle of the spiral. Nevertheless, the tree in the middle will temper this sunlight in summertime when there is risk of overheating.

The outer facade is a glass facade with exterior vertical wind bracing. These vertical members provide ample shading for the eastern and western facade. The southern facade however suffers from strong direct sunlight, therefor additional blinds are built into the vertical members.
