DESIGN NAME: Sandscrawler
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Office
INSPIRATION: With a strong civic intent within the master plan, the design for this project enjoys this ambiguity and seeks a solution which celebrates the diversity. The master planning guidelines are highly defined dictating height envelope and setbacks. The design fulfills the viability requirements but with strong civic quality as a statement for the local headquarters. The result is the building floating up to 13 metres above the ground with a sufficiently landscaped courtyard and a 100-person theatre.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: As a regional headquarters for a major entertainment-related company, the project is distinguished from just an office building. Fulfilling the highly defined master planning guidelines, the building floats up to 13 metres above the ground with a sufficiently landscaped courtyard and a 100-person theatre. The external metallic glass skin allows for privacy on the more exposed faces and presents an aerodynamic appearance. Office areas are openly visible to the courtyard with low-iron clear glass.
