Project idea

"The design of the project is inspired by the curves of a seashell, both for interior comfort reasons and to have a unique twisted shape."

Project description

"Green Diversity Hub is a research and exploration center for biodiversity. It brings together research on all aspects of biodiversity and ecology. It offers training programs for students in the field of environment and specifically helps in developing and creating startups for ambitious young individuals in the field. It also includes an exhibition space for the general public."

Technical information

The twisted shape features a ventilated facade that extends from a section of the roof and continues down to the front of the building. Natural ventilation is ensured through the atrium and curved, opening windows integrated into the facade. The building utilizes renewable energy through photovoltaic panels and incorporates a wastewater treatment system and rainwater management, which is collected through the glass roof of the atrium, which is designed in the shape of a tree leaf present on the roof."
