SKETCHES
GREENHOUSE
The greenhouse has fully grown trees that raise oxygen concentration in the office, which benefits the employees physical and mental health. The ground plane consists of only the main access, reception and two meeting rooms for external clients and guests.
Placed near the access, the greenhouse, welcomes and creates an vertical link between the office spaces. Visible from every point in the building, it offers the employees gathering, relaxation and meeting spaces while placing them in a close relationship with the natural environment. At the top floor are the large meeting rooms, their foyer has direct access to the roof garden.
ENERGY FEATURES
The tilted top of the greenhouse acts as an heat chimney that helps evacuate interior foul air and heat. Further decreasing the energy demand, the building uses geothermal heat pumps to harness heat from deep ground wells and the nearby river maintaining a low profile energy consumption.
