RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project has an elliptical form and a completely glass facade. A design approach was adopted that aims to benefit from daylight in the most efficient way while also reducing the negative effects of the sun. Extraordinary sea views met with social areas and some meeting rooms. The team's rest areas were placed on the south facade of the building, taking advantage of this view and allowing multi-purpose work at the same time. This arrangement was planned after our detailed exploration.
Located on the 21st floor, the office not only connects with green areas remotely, but also integrates with the work areas and integrates natural texture and living plants with a biophilic design. While this approach created peace and tranquility in the office, it also shaped the design language in a positive way.
CHALLENGE: The mechanical infrastructure envisaged within the building was compatible with the direction of light and sun in a glass-fronted structure, providing a significant advantage in the fight against mechanical systems. In particular, there was a greater cooling requirement in areas with intense sunlight, while the cooling requirement was lower on the north side, which did not receive sunlight. These different needs created an effective approach to balancing the internal distribution of the mechanical system. This experience provided important experience in solving mechanical problems in high-rise buildings with glass facades.
