DESIGN PHILOSOPHY THE FOLLOWING DESIGN WAS CHOSEN TO ACHIEVE DUALITY IN A COHERENT WAY OUT OF THE USUAL THROUGH THE USE OF:

- SIMPLE AND COMPLEX FORMS - SOLID AND VOID - HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL - THIN AND TINY VS HUGE AND BULKY DESPITE THE MAJOR CONTRAST, YET YOU CAN FEEL THE

HARMONY OF THE DESIGN. IT IS A DYNAMIC, STABLE, AND A BALANCED DESIGN. CERTAIN PARTS OF THE FACADES ARE

GLAZED TO MAXIMIZE THE VIEW AND GLARE FREE DAYLIGHT.

THUS, HAVING A LIGHT, TRANSPARENT, AND WELCOMING NORTH ELEVATION. IN ADDITION, A PERFORATED SKIN ENVELOPING THE UPPER PART OF THE PROJECT (OFFICE AREAS) WAS ADDED TO REDUCE GLARE AND HEAT. AND FINALLY THE DESIGN CONSISTS OF A GREEN ROOF TERRACE TO CREATE A LARGE SOCIAL INTERACTION SPACE.

Chosen site
