Start-Up office Building, 037540

This building is a research and development facility for a car manufacturer, with large-scale dedicated spaces, which have a high degree of mechanical ventilation and enclosure requirements, making them much less flexible than some of the spaces that can be created in some of the other Newtecnic-designed projects. The different spaces are arranged in sequentially as a terrace of spaces, with a central spine core and a rooftop service space. This makes the spatial arrangement of the building something resembling a ground-scraper where the ‘activity’ spaces and the’ support’ aspects of the MEP design are set out and are made visible across the roof.
