The brief was to design a 'network office' (as opposed to a traditional more hierarchical one). I decided to design a building that would serve as a kind of hub for small firms that could benefit from close physical proximity to other small businesses. The relatively small offices are separated by open space to keep large tenants from moving in.

One of our first exercises was creating a 'morph' between different office typologies.




Early organizational and structural studies





Offices are culled out to open up the building at street level and create views and variety from floor to floor




The roofs of each floor become usable outdoor space for the floor above








Overlap from floor to floor could create double- or triple-height offices for slightly larger firms.
