CONCEPT: FLOW AND FORM (CONVERGENCE)

This concept is borne out of the merging ofbrand signature logo, perspective of legibility of landscape and play with volumes as well as cantivers. The idea was to incoporate the brands presence in the design as well as their values on susutainability, making the office place a post-covid landmark, suitable to the shift in life style that should be admitted in working conditions. The interior space are made wholesome so that users can be home even away from home.

LOCATION

The site location is an open and underdeveloped site, This site offers potential for expansive design, as it appears to be relatively free from obstructions, providing flexibility in layout and access routes. the radius about the site here is 1500 meters.

ACCESSIBILITY

Around the site there are road networks with rhe major road network of 4 lanes in front, this road in front of the site cuts across the diferrent regions which unilever sub regions which makes the site good, and open to easy movement.

INFRASTRUCTURES

Site layout showing the developed space around the site, the developments here colored green stands for industries around the site.

The site incorporates a bioswale that serves both aesthetic and functional roles. Visually, it enhances the landscape, creating a natural and pleasing green space that complements the environment. Functionally, the bioswale captures and directs stormwater runoff, filtering out impurities as the water moves through vegetation. This filtered water is then channeled into the rainwater harvesting system, where it is stored and later used to meet various on-site water needs. This design ensures efficient water management while also contributing to the site’s sustainability and visual appeal.

One of the biggest problem contributors to stormwater runoff issues is the impervious surfaces. When the face cannot capture any rainwater rather it leads its directly to the drainage system, the rainwater that can reused by simple filtration can get polluted and mixed with the wastewater canals. A simple approach such creating porous pavers and spaces can help to capture, use, or re-give the rainwater. Here, the rain water is captured into the rain harvesting area for reuse ( provid ing electricity for the facilities on site using a turbine).

stormwater surway can be mixed such as capture, rebeen providturbine).

PERMEABLE SURFACE

Rainwater and runoff from a 15,000mm radius area are channeled onto the site, where a combination of bioswales and permeable surfaces captures and filters the water. The water is directed into a rainwater harvesting area, which uses this stored water to generate electricity through a turbine system. This sustainable setup not only powers the buildings on the site but also supports efficient water management, reducing flooding and conserving resources by utilizing natural rainwater.

Low-E insulated glass is low emissivity coated glass, Low e coating glass can help to save energy. The thermal insulation glass is fabricated with primary and secondary seal to maximize sealing properties.Low-e coatings affect the glass overall heating, lighting.

The principal aim of a Raft foundation is to spread the load of the building across the entire available surface area under the building. This reduces the stress on the ground below, providing a solid foundation that can accommodate ground movement whilst still maintaining structural integrity.

Face-sealed cladding (“perfect barrier”) that is impermeable to water vapor. It is insulated on the interior with air permeable insulation usually held in place between steel studs or impaled on pins protruding from the back of the cladding and covered by a vapor barrier.

FLY ASH CONCRETE PANEL

THE EXTERIOR

The exterior of this building is constructed using fly ash sandwich concrete panels, an innovative alternative to conventional concrete. These panels are designed to minimize heat gain, ensuring better thermal insulation for the interior spaces. Additionally, photovoltaic glass is integrated into the design to enhance energy efficiency. At the entrance, a carefully crafted convergence illusion draws attention, making the building appear more dominant and imposing. This design choice reinforces the significance of the structure, as it serves as the regional headquarters for the brand. The combination of sustainable materials and striking architectural features highlights the building’s commitment to both environmental responsibility and corporate prominence.

THE INTERIOR

The interior office space is designed to break away from conventional office layouts, offering a more dynamic and collaborative environment. Each team operates within designated pods, which include collaborative areas and unwinding spaces, minimizing the need for frequent movement throughout the office. To enhance natural lighting and add visual interest, skylights were incorporated into the design. These skylights not only improve illumination but also create a striking parametric view, adding depth and complexity to the space. The result is a functional, yet aesthetically engaging office that promotes productivity and creativity.
