office building 1

Posted by accatenary

This is a building of my own design which has 17 floors and is influenced by one of my favorite skyscapers the Citicorp building in Manhattan. This building lower structure is interesting where it meets the ground on 3 massive legs . 2 of the 3 contain the stairs , elevator towers and frame up the lobby entrance. The office floors start 4 stories above grade and are cantilevered over the plaza below. The Top has an architectural element which was designed to hide all Hvac and Mechanical equipment.
This model has a wood and green tinted acrylic core with strips styrene that make up the Facade.
There are about 800 windows that were cut out for this building. Recently I covered all the gaps that occur at the corners and installed a roof parapet.
