The project’s brief calls for a seven-storey industrial building that incorporates the company’s brand colour of green into the façade. To achieve this, a green visual interest was added as a second skin in the form of sun shading fins. Instead of using a full glass façade for this building as per the client’s suggestion, the designers decided that a recessed façade supported by overhangs is more suitable to allow for natural ventilation. They drew inspiration from tropical foliage to determine the proportion and colours of the fins.
The ledge supporting the sun shading fins were designed with sufficient walkway and safety hooks, so that the façade can be easily accessible from the different levels for cleaning. Two fire escape staircases were designed to service this building to adhere to the authorities’ safety requirements. The staircases’ landing become the main frontage of the building. The building’s lobby area has an open-space design to give access to pedestrians. A lush landscape perimeter along the walkway offers shade from the sun.
