Chimes 142

Chimes 142 aims to be complete Office buillding. The idea of Chimes 142, was to create a passive design form, responsive to the Sun, climatic conditions and local setting. With a goal to improve building performance and apply sustainable practices to all aspects of the design and building construction.
The design of 142, prioritises the climatic answer, the spatial relationships between its parts, the exoskeleton constructive logic and also the strong façade identity expression that says I am a passive solar building. While the ideology proposes creation of facades, landscapes and spaces, scientific structural thought guides the making of a highly adaptable structural system underscoring those mathematical needs of the building like parking bay optimization, open hall flat slab floor plate construction, free flowing 2 way scissor ramps and vertical connections, shafts and cores that support the robust infrastructure of the building.
