HOW TO CREATE AND CONNECT A COMPANYS CULTURE TO THE COMMUNITY ?
Wuhan YOFC is a global leader in Fiber Optics making products connecting people all over the world.
In the BD phase to win this project, the idea of the “Company Culture Space” as a physical space that unite and develop the corporate culture of YOFC was created. This idea was developed in the concept phase into six, later two and then one fianl design concept all exploring various typologies around the idea of the “Company Culture Space”
The final concept for YOFC has ‘connecting’ as core idea of the building.













COMPANY CULTURE SPACE
SUPER CONNECTIVITY
The “Company Culture Space’ is the central point on the site. From that point the building spreads out into five workplace arms. They divide the site into 5 courtyards each with different program.
The “Company Culture Space” embodied as a central atrium is connected to all indoor workplace arms and to all outdoor courtyards.
ATRIUM SPACE LOGIC
The Atrium consist of a central space in the intersection of the five ‘arms’ that spans from the ground floor to the top ending with a skylight that provides daylight down through the atrium.

To connect inside with the outside, the atrium has 2 openings on each floor. These opening is either double high or tribble high spaces opening the atrium up in different corners creating internal platforms with different views towards the outside making a seamless connection between interior and exterior.
A stair is stepping up along the periphery of the atrium making a physical connection through the building.

ATRIUM LOGIC_1 PLATFORMS AND OPENINGS
ATRIUM LOGIC_2 PLATFORMS AND OPENINGS
ATRIUM LOGIC_3 PLATFORMS AND OPENINGS REPOS SEQUENCE PLATFORMS AND OPENINGS
To connect inside with the outside, the atrium has 2 openings on each floor. The floors opens up in different corners creating internal platforms with different views towards the outside.

Main function is office space with a mix of working spaces and collaborative spaces. The program for the ground floor is lobby area, gym, exhibition, and conference center.


The canteen is placed on ground floor and in the basement. To enhance the natural light condition and dissolve the feeling of being in a basement the canteen on both floors is facing a landscape that steps down
to form a sunken courtyard. The landscapes continue into the building making a double high space along the façade connecting the two floors of canteen.





FACADE STRATEGY SCENERY SHUTTER

The façade is inspired of the old Chinese lattice system. Reveal to the outside, connect to the inside.








The double skin façade consists inside of a typical curtain wall with Metal Louvers between the inside and outside skin. To create a contrast and express the volume stronger the façade in the end of each ‘wings’ only has the typical glass curtain wall with no louvers and second skin.

PROJECT HISTORY First qualified in a BD with sketches of 3 schemes. Then 2 months of competition with a midterm.
STATUS No result because client are facing financial difficulties
MAKING A UNIQUE ICON
The new tall Icon for Chongqing is part of a trinity consisting of the main city center, the new CBD and this site that we define as a cultural center at the ‘South Bund’
The prosperous ‘South Bund’ area was full of ports, becoming the hub of commerce between Chongqing and the outside, acting as an important gateway for the ancient city. Later it became an open window, and with a large number of foreign influence becoming an important place for the intersection of Chinese and Western cultures.


ICON STRATEGY
The site is placed next to the riverside but elevated 60 meters up from the water. The project turns that complexity into an advantage using the connection to create a new public space. Tower and the urban spaces becomes icons in different scales.

To overcome the topography of Chongqing a unique urban conditions has evolved: buildings integrate with bridges, stairs, ramps and other infrastructural elements that transform old typologies into new urban elements. Using this approach unsentimental the project creates it's own urban identity linking old with new.
TOWER; LARGE SCALE
Like a mountain top covered in snow the tower is a ‘beacon’ seen from the distant. It ‘announces’ the location of the tower making it into a destination. Coming closer the shape and facade changes playfully creating a dynamic Icon.

GATE; MEDIUM SCALE


In the urban fabric of the area that consist of temples, historical buildings and new residential towers a large gate stands out as a point of interest. That is because the gate transform an access point into a portal. The gate is a celebration of entrance and a symbol of the anticipation of what is behind the gate. Instead of creating a sentimental replica this project use urban elements from Chongqing and frame the opening with specific material that makes it stands out.
IDENTITY: 2 ELEMENTS THAT CHARACTERIZE CHONGQING
NATURE; CONNECTING TO THE NATURAL ELEMENTS OF CHONGQING

The nature and the natural elements is a key feature for the site and Chongqing cityscape .







In this project we use the nature and the natural element as a driver for the design and organization of site and buildings.
URBAN; USING THE URBAN ELEMENTS IN CHONGQING



By using and transforming Chongqing urban typologies into new modern designs symbols, this project
connects with the city’s heritage and at the same time create a new modern image.
RETAIL STRATEGY; SMALL SCALE
The retail strategy takes inspiration from the old meandering streets that consist of a chain of spaces creating an experiential retail environment fostering adventure and curiosity. This consist of a retail street that meander from the river through the site and up to a new event box floating above the site. The street connect to the historical area of Nan’an that is being upgraded as a destination integrating temples and other heritage elements into a bigger overall plan.

STATUS Ongoing
Yangpu Binjiang Industrial Zone is the birthplace of modern Chinese industry. In 1869, the public concession authorities began to build Yangshupu Road on the embankment of the original Huangpu River, which opened the prelude to the century-old industrial civilization of the

Yangshupu Industrial Zone.

Now this riverfront is part of the city’s strategy to make upgrade Huangpu into a green public realm and revitalize with new high technology company headquarters.

The vision of the project is to connect the cultural heritage
with the future. In the past the Calligraphy pen was the tool for communication. Now it has become the software written as the underlaying code that enable us to communicate no matter the physical distance. Because of the location at the riverfront and next to the famous Yangpu bridge the


project is expected to be unique and iconic. With the building height limited to 60 meters, significantly lower than the bridge and the neighboring towers the projects focus is on the expression of the inside towards the outside by the atriums, bridges, terraces, and a dynamic roof scape.

HOW TO MAKE A UNIQUE BUILDING IN A COMPETING CONTEXT
RENOVATED FACTORY PROGRAM STRATEGY
MULTI-FUNCTIONAL SPACE
On this basis, an open and multi-functional building space has been created, including shared office, conference, exhibition, lounge, roof garden, etc., to meet the diversified needs of technology and Innovation working space in the future


Site consists of 3 plots, one of them with a heritage building. Main building is going to be the headquarter for a software company while the smaller ones will be multi-tenants. The strategy is to
preserve the grand space inside the historical industrial building as a multi-function space for conference, exhibition, and other amenities. Second and third floor is established as inserted repos for workplaces.

PROJECT HISTORY
Competition in 2 stages
STATUS 2nd price

Competition for an international bank HQ tower in Xiamen located on the first row towards the sea at a prime location in the Financial CBD.

The context consists of generic office towers in various shapes that render them into a ‘white noise’. Instead of trying to ‘speak louder’ the strategy is to make a simple elegant tower that will stand out because of that.






By placing these elements in the top of tower we make the unique local image of the roofs into an icon for XIB headquarter. We call these windows
‘Heritage Windows’

Between the Iconic ‘Heritage Windows’ and the function is a large atrium spanning all the way to the top. In this atrium boxes, terraces, trees and vertical connections making into a multi-facet dynamic space with the best view towards the sea. The ‘Heritage Windows’ are present with their distinctive large rectangles.
The project moves from a traditional tower/podium dynamic by distributing the program placing amenity program in the bottom and top with smaller atriums on the floors between making a more holistic building complex.




TRANSFORMING
The Green Stair is placed between Tower and Podium connecting amenity functions with the outdoor. The stair have seating options and integrated terraces making place for outdoor


meetings or casual encounters. The Canteen is extended to the outside terrace on the stair.






The stair is inteded to be build in wood; a material that works well in this
scale. The material is also the facade material for this space providing a warm contrast to the rest of the building.

TRANSLUCENT MATERIAL WITH STONE




The main object of the entrance is a very large translucent frame. This frame consist of a double layered glass with a thin stone material inbetween. It will appear as a opaque smooth glass but with a






visual texture of the stone. Light will still filter through giving it a glowing effect making the entrance the center of the area.

VISION The project is a mixeduse development of headquarter & multi-tenant offices, retail spaces and human scaled streets. The site’s 10 plots are activated by using a floating network of bridges, private and public courtyards, human scaled streets and a major urban greenscape.
MASTERPLAN Integrated with SOM’s urban master plan concept of smallness to activate the heart of Jinan’s CBD: small blocks, human-scaled streets with no building setbacks to preserve the street edge, small turning radius for walkable streets and pocket parks infusing nature into the city.
PROGRAM The mixed-use program consists of Multi-tenant office, Single Tenant building/Headquarter, Service Apartment, Retail, Hotel and a Transit Hub.
STRATEGY Two typologies of courtyards: 1. Is closed with restricted access to the courtyard serving single tenant/ HQ, 2. Is open with multiple public access to the courtyard serving multitenant and hotel program. The retail podium is a result of these two strategies—one activating outer edges for private headquarter plots and the other creating central courtyards in the middle of retail podium for more public plots. Each typology is connected within a network of bridges and courtyards to activate and integrate.
Retail also exists at multiple levels—enhancing the sense of multi-level connectivity. Result is a variated, vibrant and activated streetscape for the neighborhood.
MASSING Tower massing is dynamic and varies from the base to the top.

The massing and the following strategies are applied to the headquarter, multi-tenant towers, hotel as well as transit hub tower. This approach creates a unified design family with distinct identities within the family All towers are designed with a central core and a high efficiency floorplate with efficiency ratio not lower than 78%.


The transit hub integrates the
subway into a sunken plaza connection on site. Escalator and lift connections draw visitors to the streetscape and second floor bridges that deepen the connectivity of the development.
FACADE The design is comprised of two holistic tower facade strategies that both provide designs consistency and distinct tower identities.
The first tower façade strategy utilizes curved angles on the inward faces of the tower that face the courtyard and vertical striations to create a variety of façade outcomes.
The second tower façade strategy utilizes sharp edges along all faces and horizontal striations for a variety of façade outcomes.

279 METER MIXED-USETOWER
TOWERS
The pair of towers are triangular because it allows for the buildings to have its own prominent views and to reduce the amount of overviewing surfaces towards each other. This allows for optimal views both towards the river, Xihu and the mountains.


299 M. The lobby in Level B1 connects with the metro station. The tower has two SKY LOBBIES, both served by express elevators. Amenities and Green atriums are integrated to enhance the quality of the tower.
TYPICAL
OFFICE PLAN The shape of the core follows the triangular geometry that is the base for the tower design. The space between the core and the façade becomes homogeneous and provides high flexibility and efficiency. OBSERVATION DECK creates a sculptural top for the building and a unique space in Hangzhou.
279 M. The office part is located in the lowest half of the tower, the service apartments are located in upper half.
SKY LOBBY FOR SERVICE APARTMENT is placed in the middle dividing the two programs. It is connected with the ground by express elevators. The floors for the SERVICE APARTMENT can easily be divided into the 3 categories of small, medium and large size apartments. Because of less elevators in the highest half of the tower the core is designed to provide other facilities then transportation and mechanical rooms.
ROOF GARDEN In the top of the tower is a shared green space for the residents of the service apartments.
FAÇADE is a power plant that is integrating photovoltaic cell / solar tiles into the curtain wall where it is facing the sun. The density of the PV modules is distributed on the building facades in response to the intensity of the annual indicent solar radiation. This strategy maximises the yield of renewable energy and exemplifies aesthetics through design performance.

Concept, SD and DD; CD, Mockup and site review STATUS Build
The overall organization of the site is a 120 meter high tower to the north and 3 pavilions to the south.
The tower is pushed enough to the east to make space for a well function drop-off and curve cut. Together with the podium the tower forms a public entrance space with a small plaza. The height of the Lobby space, the front plaza and lobby becomes one space.
The project is part of the West Bund Media Port which main element is an elevated Platform connecting the whole development on the second floor.
PODIUM The layout of the pavilions forms a big central
space that will become an active central plaza. The division of the pavilions create a unique experience where the elevated platform flows through the buildings and open up at the plaza.
TOWER The tower consists of a simple volume with 3 atriums. Each atrium interacts with 3 different contextual situation.
The first atrium is carved into the volume at the ground level towards west and next to the main drop off. This atrium is visible from the main intersection both giving identity and direction.
In the middle of the building a second atrium is opening
the building towards the public spaces of the West Bund Media Port creating both a visible connection from the atrium and a ‘billboard’ of dynamic life and innovation.
The third atrium are in the floors of the building. From this atrium is a spectacular view towards Lujiazui and the river. It has the potential either to be a public space or a special VIP area. With a dynamic play the facade enhance the basic concept of the 3 atriums. The distance between the fins on the curtain wall gradient enlarge towards the atriums creating a story of a building that opens up and create curiosity and interest.

The Master plan consists of a large amount of green spaces and spaces for activities. Within each perimeter block is an inner courtyard sometimes link to the outside. These spaces give the opportunities for different public program and activities.

Connecting with Axial Park
To the east side of the plot are the Axial Park. A large main element in Molewa links the present city with the flower park and at same time has a parking basement for tourist. This project extends this space into the plot with a new urban plaza on the edge of the park.

STATUS build
The Chinese furniture brand Camerich asked Standardarchitecture to make a concept show at Furniture China in Shanghai; one of the worlds biggest furniture fairs.
Chinese furniture has in general a reputation for copying existing furniture. The main goal for Camerich and its director was to show that creativity and innovation also could happen in a Chinese context. This ambition was further developed in a close dialogue with the client and advisers; at creative meetings and workshops.
The theme is about future furniture and the current
changes in Chinese society. Does this have an influence on how funiture and its function evolve? Can furniture it self be an object for change and change social situations.
By using urban situations, thinking furniture as a social tool and adding stories we were able to push the design.
The showroom was 350 m², build in a steel structure covered in wood painted white, with seamless vinyl on floor and stair.



The furniture consisted of 5 series in 14 pieces made in steel, fiberglass and wood.

SUSTAINABLE CONCEPT
middle of campus to the foyer with the big ramp with a build in “amphitheater”. It’s experienced in the open auditoriums and on to the informal meetings arrangement between teaching and research facilities and down to local kitchenettes around the building cores. The building offers a wide range of differentiated social spaces that appeal to different users and relationships.
The building’s architectural concept appears as a blocks with the atria as the cen-

ter, which are stacked and rotated on top of each other. It’s easy to navigate through the building, while at the same time being fun and adventurous with new spaces and changing perspectives.
The atrium is a central communal area consisting of many small places, niches and accommodation. A building with smooth transitions between different functions, which both gives the opportunity to participate in a wide range of communities
and to retreat into contemplation.
By pushing the building structure out to the campus boundary, it’s condenses the meeting between campus and the city. On the campus site the structure create differentiated green spaces in close relation to the buildings and provides a strong link between inside and outside. The park becomes a integrated space in the university.
