The design in this work was based on the foundations and principles of high-tech architecture. The challenge was how to create a striking and distinctive geometric composition within the crowded architectural forms and compositions in this important commercial street. From here was the starting point where we adopted the shape of the prominent and convex arch towards the outside in the design of the frame of the external facade of the office with the employment of a group of longitudinal and transverse partitions and cuts for this frame. We also moved towards adopting an unusual method in fixing the glass by employing spiders from the outside instead of the inside.
This work is one of the first works that embodies the approach we followed in our design process based on creating unusual design and functional solutions, presenting a different vision in the approved configurations, avoiding all kinds of competition, and focusing on achieving visual pleasure, benefit, comfort and ease of use within the framework of the trilogy of science, art, visual and functional pleasure, and offering new geometric relations extraordinary in line with the spirit of the age and future outlook.
