THE HELIX ADMINISTRATIVE

Cairo University, Faculty of Engineering Architecture Department.

Idea projektu

The project is inspired by the Helix as a form generator, where the building mass evolves in a spiraling, ascending manner reflecting vitality and continuity. The aim is to create an administrative building that balances functional efficiency and contemporary aesthetics while integrating green spaces into the architectural fabric.

Popis projektu

A multi-story administrative building comprising on the ground floor: reception foyers, multi-purpose units (MPU), a restaurant, cafés, a prayer room, a showroom, and service areas. Upper floors are dedicated to administrative offices, with a basement containing services and kitchen facilities. The project features a green roof system distributed across stepped terraces on each floor.
