This competition project envisions an office building with distinct visual identity seeking to have a significant impact on the future. Designed as a harmonious interplay of forms tailored to the climate and site contours, the design preserves the natural drainage pattern, maintaining the topsoil’s integrity.

Interlocking floor plates create self-shaded spaces and verdant terraces, which serve as vibrant spillover areas. The building’s dynamic form is punctuated by light wells strategically placed to maximize natural interior illumination.

To respond to the sun’s path, the design features an opaque eastern and western facade, selectively punctured for diffused sunlight, while the northern facade remains transparent, welcoming glare-free light. The entire envelope functions as a passive cooling element, contributing to the building’s impressive energy efficiency. At its core, a central service area enhances planning efficiency.

Aesthetic elements like leaning pillars and parametric curves grace the facade, giving the building a futuristic appeal. Conceived as an futuristic office building with  a subtle  palette of white, grey, and light blue, the building  represents the point of convergence between architecture, technology and environmental awareness.
