Design for sustainable Research and Development centre
Located on the outskirts of Istanbul in the Tübitak Marmara Research Center Zone, this building serves as the research & development and technological centre for a private telecommunications company. Taking the site context, views and orientation into consideration the building offers a single storey entry, rising to four storeys on the office side. Owing to the fact that it is the technological center, the building exhibits the highest technological standards. Special attention has been given in the building’s design to ensure a low energy, ecologically friendly, sustainable outcome was achieved.
“Bang & Olufsen’s main building in Struer is anchored in the landscape, where the design and production company has its identity. The building was inaugurated in 1998 and is to be experienced as a large showroom for Bang & Olufsen’s company culture and production.”
There is another shot of the KHR designed building and interior at the site. Neither are as good as this one though. The building was completed in 1998 but this shot looks like it could be from a 70’s architectural digest.
Chicago firm wins global competition to design first ‘positive energy” building in Abu Dhabi
