Using parametric design tools to explore multiple spatial configurations, an optimal strategy is chosen, consisting of positioning enclosed office spaces against the facade of the building while leaving enough free glazed surface to the open office area. The enclosed offices are conceived as transparent pods combining a good level of acoustic intimacy with the visual permeability required by the brief. A powerful circulation space connects the large open office area.
The enduring design of the 360Life Marketing Office intends to answer the complex dichotomy between dynamism and flexibility of contemporary business workflows and architectural spaces. A ceiling made of curved timber fins run diagonally across the entirety of the space, bending down to become a vertical screen or to wrap and hide the structural columns of the building, making them part of the composition rather than disconnected elements. The ceiling design brings the whole concept together, organizing the multiplicity of programs into a unique, distinctive gesture guiding users along with the experience.
