Characteristics
of high rise office building
projects
Characteristics of high rise office building
projects are
presentability, usability, flexibility, accessibility and efficiency.
High rise office building
projects typically demand a high degree of presentability.
It is due
to the fact that occupiers of office buildings would like to
achieve strong corporate identity through their office
buildings.
This is especially the case if an office builidng is custom
designed and built for a particular corporate client or owner occupier,
eg. bank headquarter. Height is considered as one of the most
effective design element in attracting attention and building
character. Shape of building, facade, finishes material, roof
treatment, architectural design, interior design, organization of
spaces on & near ground level, outlook
and view from within the office building
are all important elements in forming unique corporate image of high
rise office
buildings.
High rise office building projects typically demand a
high degree of usability.
High rise office buildings serve the purpose of accomodating
teams of staff in corporate organizations. An office building
needs to be able to provide sufficient office accomodation for the
organization concerned. It is also desirable to accomodate an
organization in such a way that it can express the organization's
corporate structure. Besides providing an indoor environment
for
people to sit down in front of office desks to work, office buildings
also need to provide various spaces for people to meet. Some
of
these spaces need to be highly secure
and private.
Others are to be more open. Spaces for the
organization to
carry out its functions & to deliver service to its clients
will be
needed. Auxiliary facilities for out-of-office meetings,
meals,
corporate catering, related retail and relaxation activities, eg.
coffee shop, bar, newsagent, gym etc.
are often required.
High rise office building projects
typically demand a high degree of flexibility, in terms of
spatial organization, space planning and office layout. Depending
on the type of corporate organization, the type of office accomodation
may differ. Some require totally open plan layout.
Some require
totally separate
individual
offices. Others require mixture of the two.
Corporate organization will change with time.
Spatial need within different departments of the organization
will also change. Market condition, corporate strategy and
technological change can affect spatial needs in different way.
During planning,
design,
construction, fitout of high rise office building projects, project
managers, architects, interior designers, space planners, builders
&
contractors should remember that flexibility
in space planning and office layout are highly desirable.
High rise office building projects typically demand high
degree of accessibility.
High rise office building projects require high degree of accessibility
for corporate managers, staff, support personnel, corporate
clients and the public. Different floors may require
different
degree of accessibility at different times. Access control
system
and security system in this case needs to satisfy the operation
objectives and the control protocol of the corporate organization.
Carparking arrangement, delivery, taxi and transport
setdown waiting area are important parts of high rise office
building projects. Equally important, if not more,
is
accessibility in terms of IT & communication technology.
IT
infrastructure is an important part of any high rise office building
project. High rise office building projects typically demand a high
degree of efficiency. The quality of the design,
construction and
fitout of a
high rise office building can affect the occupier
organization's
operation and productivity.
Efficiency is reflected on quantity and quality of office
accomodation. The proportion ratio between usable floor area
and
support service floor area is often used as an indicator of space
planning efficiency of high rise office building projects.
Floor
plan configuration, column spacing, structural layout are factors which
affect space planning efficiency. Design of circulation paths
can
also have an impact. Speed, quantity, arrangement of
lifts & escalators, and
their relationship with various spaces & floors are
important design factors affecting efficiency. Finally,
lighting design, mechanical ventilation and air conditioning design are
also important design factors which can influence efficiency and
productivity.

The
above examples of high rise building design illustrate how different
arrangement of curtain wall and structural elements can create
different forms of high rise building design. The interaction
between structure and curtain wall, in another word - solid and void,
defines volumes, planes, lines, curves, order, pattern, verticality,
horizontality, and space for the high rise building design. In
each case of the high rise building design, the use of different glass
and cladding material with different reflectivity, colour, texture,
fixing details, joint details, contributes to form the individual
character and quality of the particular high rise building.
