Redevelopment of an existing site

The phased redevelopment of an existing site, with two office buildings followed by the demolition of the existing central building to make room for an auditorium and a landscaped park.

Programme: Two office buildings and an auditorium
Approach: Phased redevelopment of an existing site
Landscape: Central park and retained trees

MY CONTRIBUTION

Architecture and BIM coordination.

Development of architectural studies and BIM coordination to keep volumes, drawings and project interfaces consistent.

My approach, from sketch to delivery

The challenge

Transform an existing site by coordinating new buildings, demolition and landscape.

The response

Two office buildings precede the demolition of the central building, freeing space for the auditorium and park.

Working spaces, open to the landscape.

The first office building comprises two volumes joined by a stepped patio. Three upper floors rise above the ground floor and a garden level; setbacks create planted terraces at each level. White panels facing the street and wood-finish panels facing the park give the façades distinct characters, while full-height glazing and solar shading articulate the elevations.

The park as a shared centre.

The two office buildings are constructed first. The existing central building is then demolished, freeing the space needed for the auditorium and landscaped park. Woodland, agroforestry, flower beds and an orchard give this shared space its character. Existing trees are retained wherever possible, with an infiltration swale and permeable parking areas integrated into the landscape.
