The requirement is to build a warehouse as an extension of the
pre- existing office building. This led to the design of a building
with a warehouse and office space with a resort-like ambiance,
offering a new and pleasant work environment with glass blocks,

The project originated from the owner’s aspiration
to build a warehouse as an extension of the preexisting
office building. The requirements led to
the design of a building with a warehouse and
office space with a resort-like ambiance, offering
a new and pleasant work environment. The design
team later received an additional request from
the owner to include a living area, resulting in the
project having multiple, coexisting functions.
The main building is divided into two zones. The
office and living area are situated at the front, while
the warehouse is located at the back, with a walkway
connecting the two areas. These two sections
showcase distinct design languages that are defined
by the varying levels of transparency in the materials
used. The materials chosen for the office building
are transparent and open in their physical properties,
while those used for the warehouse construction
are intended to be more enclosed. The office
space is generously sized, allowing for plenty of
natural light and an open layout that enhances
interior airflow and ventilation, resulting in a comfortable
temperature. As a result, the need for air
conditioning is limited only to areas that are frequently
used. Curtain walls partition the meeting
room and private offices while still preserving the
openness of the spaces and glass blocks, which
play a prominent role in the design are incorporated
into various components.
