This 5500sqm office building is for a software development company, Silicon & Software Systems, and was designed to accommodate 380 people. The building is naturally ventilated, and arranged around a stepped atrium on four floors. The entrance is at the upper ground floor level with direct access from covered car parking at the lowest level.
Conceptually, the building is read as a solid block, reflecting the generic nature of office space, which is carved at the entrance, atrium and auditorium to highlight the importance of these spaces. The cut surfaces have a contrasting colour and texture which is extended into the public interior spaces. Thus the floors and walls of the atrium and also the ceiling of the reception area are made in precast concrete, extending the influence of the concept to maximum extent.
