Reclaimed Rusticity - An Urban Office

The Office Building visually connects its interior spaces with the exterior.  The deck extending outwards invites the user to a semi-outdoor space. This elevated deck allows vegetation to grow underneath and bring the user closer to the natural environment by providing a relaxing and entertaining gathering space.

​

Timber was re-used by obtaining it from an existing demolished building. Exposed brick is used in harmony with timber to create a cozy environment for the office staff. Pergolas are used at the front façade to reduce the glare. The bamboo blinds and the vegetation further help reduce the solar gain.

​

The office building is designed with an open plan form, connecting the interior with the exterior. The office has cubicles for managerial staff, a conference room and washroom facilities. The building has operable fenestration which allows daylight and the ability to naturally ventilate.
