Outline

 

The architectural design being described aims to create a modern, environmentally friendly office space characterized by flexibility, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal from all viewpoints.

 

Each facade of the building is uniquely designed to respond to its orientation and surrounding environment. The north facade functions as a visual display of the interior activities towards the M40 motorway, utilizing a minimal glass wall and a prominent cantilevered cornice roof.

 

In contrast, the east facade presents a formal appearance with pre-cast concrete brise-soleils that serve to mitigate solar heat while providing a shaded walkway. The south facade highlights the main entrance with an overhang that offers both a welcoming executive drop-off and effective sun protection. Meanwhile, the west facade is set back to allow for a spacious outdoor recreational area, equipped with a protective metal mesh to shield against the intense afternoon sun.
