Hyundai Advances Design Studion / Delugan Meissl Associated Architects

Central requirements for the Hyundai Advance Design Studio consist in creating an open and clearly structured space, highly capable of stimulating the creative workflow and communication between several working areas and uses.

The main design idea aims to avoid a monotonous and faceless open-plan office without any means of identification and to convey Hyundai‘s core identity features instead: caring, simple, creative. The central goal of the concept for the Hyundai Advance Design Studio is to provide a clearly recognizable allocation for the variety of requested working areas, constantly preserving overviews and visual connections between related functional areas. Besides, the spatial concept follows the permanent correlation between openness and privacy, between communication and concentration, supporting the flow of working processes and ideas. A sequence of individual, connected areas characterizes the Design Studio as a homogeneous and clearly segmented functional space entity. The zoning of the total surface is achieved by implementing an artificial “landscape” into the existing space, composed of graded platforms combined with a modeled ceiling.

Interconnected zones of different levels and heights provide an exciting topography of functional areas, each of a clearly recognizable, different character and atmosphere. Accesses and space levels establish a coherent orientation within the studio. The positioning of grades and ramps does not only follow the optimization of the internal workflow, but also creates shortcuts, in order to shorten the distance of individual movements between all functional areas. Monochrome white color and the homogeneous materiality create a neutral space, emphasizing the visibility and presentation of the creative, colorful output of this department.

Green Incubator / Plus Three Architecture

One Trinity Green is a new, high-tech business centre for SMEs in the renewables sector. Forming Phase 1 of the Trinity South development in South Shields, the scheme redevelops and regenerates a brownfield site formerly occupied by an electronics factory which was one of the major employers in the town.

The building is conceived as 3 contemporary, flexible, ‘Victorian’ warehouses each with a distinctive character but bound together by a singular ribbon of elevation and a range of shared social spaces. An elevated roof garden provides further amenity and further differentiates One Trinity Green from other similar ‘incubator’ developments.

Each ‘warehouse’ benefits from exposed structure (for passive cooling), opening windows and a central winter garden (to aid cross ventilation) and a robust palette of materials (to minimise damage during tenant churn).

The design concept seeks to address the social issues of multi-occupancy buildings by creating a clustered arrangement of studios and hybrid units and through the celebration of circulation space as a social amenity and interaction space.

Completed in May 2012, One Trinity Green is one of the first in the region to achieve a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating through a combination of simple, passive environmental techniques allied to a large array of roof-mounted, photovoltaic panels. The pre-construction BREEAM score was measured at 87.7%.

Edificio de Laboratorios – Ramón Carrillo / Moscato Schere Todo Terreno + MS+ DPF UNLa

(2013/09/03)

Estos edificios forman parte de la apertura y consolidación de un nuevo eje urbano dentro del polígono actual de la universidad.

El Edificio de Epidemiologia es el primero de una “serie” de obras que se desarrollarán bajo una misma matriz formal, constructiva y tipológica pero con distintos usos y programas. El Edificio de Laboratorios aquí presente es el segundo de dicha serie que se completará en el futuro con la construcción del Edificio de Dormis.

En el interior de cada edificio los diversos subprogramas se sectorizan en bloques dispuestos en relación de giro en torno al patio central y se relacionan con este mediante al espacio circulatorio vidriado.

La definición y características de los subespacios es libre y variada: pudiendo ser abiertos o cerrados, cubiertos o semicubiertos, vidriados u opacos.

En el perímetro exterior, los muros y muretes perimetrales, acompañan el ordenamiento interno de la planta y cumplen funciones variadas tales como las de sostén, control de luz, de nivel de privacidad, etc.

Por último y no menos importante, brindan homogeneidad de lenguaje entre las caras de cada edificio y entre la “serie” de edificios.
