ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
The concept thread is drawn from the African forest , creating a structure that replicates a dense tree via parabolic balconies that embark upon the building façade .
while also reducing heat gain by allowing natural indirect light into the office spaces .
Situated in the pretext of the Congo River , the building shape provides peripheral glazing surfaces orienting towards the river . Capturing maximum river views at the shortest distance , the balconies are aligned and projected radially from the offices .
The concept thread is drawn from the African forest , creating a structure that replicates a dense tree via parabolic balconies that embark upon the building façade . The angled balconies overlap at subsequent floors , providing double and single height balcony spaces for every office . The building shape , with its projecting decks , allows integration of open spaces with enclosed ones . The form generated by the blend of building shape and balconies creates a parametric envelope of repetitive cascading elements to develop a unique identity .
