IDEAL OFFICE TYPOLOGY — BIG based the design on an ideal office bar typology measuring 17 m in width, with workstation seating or enclosed office space on both sides, and a strip of core and support functions in the middle.
REQUIRED AREA — Rather than a long bar, a 17 m zigzag along the entire length of the site gives more floor area and facades that area naturally lit, fulfilling the brief's requirement of 30,000 m2 across 3 floors.
DOUBLE UP — BIG proposed to double up the zigzag volume to the maximum building height of 30.5 meters, effectively doubling the leasable office space to 60,000 m2.
ROTATE — By rotating the top 3 floors 180 degrees, BIG provides accessible green terraces for the upper volume, whilst simultaneously creating intimate, welcoming entrance courtyards along the main road.
LIFT — The whole building is lifted to create a porous and accessible ground floor level, fully open to the public. Pedestrians and drivers on the road will also have an immediate view towards airport's 4 km long runway.
EXTEND — The lower volume is extended to create a connection towards the tunnel from Terminal A. The upper volume is extended to provide shelter and shade for the future bus stop.
PANORAMIC CORNERS — The edges of the volumes are filleted to provide panoramic views, no dead-corners, and to resonate with the rest of the buildings in the masterplan.
3 LAYERS OF GREEN — The final design is a beautiful, highly performative office building with 3 layers of roof terraces, providing users with abundant opportunities to enjoy the unique views whilst surrounded by lush greenery.
