The project interrogates and exploits the limit of envelope control in urban sites to re-examine the ubiquitous glass curtain wall. Eschewing the flatness,we developed an envelope of interspersed garden pockets veiled by a layer of golden expanded mesh that is strategically punctured to frame the office activities within. These pods are extensions of a column-free, open-plan space.We envision this to be the new face of work. One that engages the interior with the urban context and nature.
