Won in competition, this design for a new science building for Space Research and Chemistry was driven by the desire to improve both facilities and working methodologies.
The building has two wings, each wing is arranged vertically with laboratories,circulation and open office areas stacked on top of one another. Vertical light voids connect floors and glass walls provide levels of acoustic and visual privacy.
The envelope of the building reflects the internal program, open office areas are day lit by large north facing glazing and the sensitive laboratories are cocooned within the heavily insulated south walls.
