Expansion of Horizontal Space

Arumdri Media Publishing is a building for children book publisher. The client wants four story office building for his own use and rental purpose. Because the site is open to three directions with different vistas, he wants to have outdoor terraces on each floor to enjoy them. With this simple requirement, the first ideas came out. To make outdoor balconies on each floor, we slide the slabs of the building to every possible direction. Based on the sun movement, vistas and optimum structure, we finally get the ‘slide floor’ building. With this slide, we also questioned the stacks of same floors in ordinary office building. Because it does not look like the slabs in a box, each floor could be different. Between the slabs are filled with specific materials and each floor has different inside wrapping from floor to ceiling. The result is each floor gives its own experience. So does on the roof.
