The form was inspired by the rectangular nature and slope site, the need to express interconnectivity (which is critical component of network for which the client is known for) where we have used link bridges at different levels and transparency because the client is also known for sharing and storage of data received from the public, where we have incorporated the use of large span of glazing at the façade including the use of panoramic lifts were also incorporated into the structure.

To meet setback requirements of 6 meters from the road, a 300 x 600 mm column system was adopted, extending the full height of the structure with link beams at each level. These support a triangular steel pergola at the roof level, symbolizing the connection between sky and earth. The site’s slope was also utilized to create two basement parking levels, with the lowest point forming the upper basement.

A central courtyard enhances natural ventilation through the stack effect, ensuring cross-ventilation across all spaces and reducing overall energy consumption. The façade combines 2400 x 600 mm reusable aluminum cladding in shades of grey and beige, link bridges to break the massing, curtain walls with louvers, and a recessed top floor (set back by 1800 mm) to enhance aesthetics.
