Oxygen Corporate Headquarters and Manufacturing Facility

This project is located in a non-descript suburban area
and fronts a major arterial street. It contains four main
program requirements: corporate offices, research and
development laboratories, manufacturing facilities and
distribution center.
The main façade is comprised of two superimposed
curved layers to give the structure a fluid, elegant
appearance. As the outer layer peels away from the
main building plane it forms a courtyard which leads
the visitor to the building’s main entrance. The other
three sides are less sculptural and more expressive of
the utilitarian building program. Building materials are
expressed in the simplest form and are enhanced by
the strong contrast provided by shades and shadows
which vary as the sun moves during the day. The
building’s white color is used as a translucent skin veil
which randomly reveals the raw concrete substrate,
creating a dynamic composition on the building’s
façades.
The exterior fluidity and elegance are seamlessly
carried through the interior. Delicate curved forms
absent of excessive ornamentation are washed with
abundant natural light provided by the building’s
perimeter fenestration as well as the strategically
located roof light wells. Forms and spaces respond to
their function and also create exiting new experiences
as one moves through the building.
