Office Building
Office Building
Design completed: 2015
In the competition design for the new offices of a philanthropic organization, we used a sequence of double-height volumes as sectional foils to the logic
of efficient office plans. These five distinct spaces act as holes within the stacked floor plates, providing joints that form common spaces, libraries, and
meeting rooms between levels. By integrating staircases into these spaces we created the possibility of a continuous public promenade through the
foundation, fostering communication and enabling unexpected encounters and exchanges among departments.
