High-rise is infact a spinal cord that supports work and life.

Project idea

The project focuses on a luxurious commercial office building in a dense and busy business district like Motijheel.

Project description

The project proposes a luxurious commercial office tower designed to accommodate a variety of business, commercial, and recreational functions within a single high-rise development. The masterplan begins with a welcoming entrance lobby and reception area, supported by lounge spaces, a bank, and basic service facilities to ensure convenience for visitors and office users.

The lower floors are designed as active public and semi-public zones. The 1st and 2nd floors include restaurants, information services, conference dining areas, private lounges, and supporting kitchenette facilities to create spaces for meetings, social interaction, and business gatherings. The 3rd floor functions as a commercial level containing retail spaces such as souvenir shops, a book shop, stationery shop, pastry shop, cafe, seating areas, and office spaces.

The core of the building from the 4th to the 31st floors is dedicated to office spaces, providing flexible working environments for various corporate activities. The upper levels introduce recreational and special facilities, including a gym on the 32nd floor and a restaurant on the 33rd floor offering elevated dining experiences.

At the top levels, unique features enhance the building’s identity and functionality. The 34th floor includes a waiting room, drone deck, and helipad for advanced transportation access. The 35th floor provides an observation terrace and observation room, while the 36th and 37th floors incorporate a sky bridge and sky bridge observation area, creating panoramic viewing experiences of the city. The 38th and 39th floors accommodate mechanical services that support the building’s overall operation.

Overall, the project integrates office, commercial, leisure, and observation facilities within a vertically organised structure, creating a dynamic and multifunctional landmark.

Technical information

The project uses a hexagonal diagrid structural system, which provides high structural stability for the high-rise tower while reducing the need for internal columns. The diagrid structure helps distribute loads efficiently and improves resistance to wind forces, making the building suitable for dense urban environments.

The building facade incorporates photochromic glass panels, which can adjust their tint according to sunlight intensity. Approximately 32 mm double-glazed glass panels are used to enhance thermal performance, reduce heat gain, and improve energy efficiency within the building.

This combination of a hexagonal diagrid structural framework and advanced glass facade system creates a strong, lightweight, and environmentally responsive building envelope while maintaining a modern architectural appearance.
