The Sky Park building was conceived in the highly codified context of producing contemporary office and service spaces. From the outset, the building had to respect the current rigorous design codes (dimensional, functional, program, commercial…). The building represents a variation on this theme, manipulating the architectural vocabulary established by modern archetypes of the office building.
The program proposes the construction of 15,425 m2 of floor space on seven levels, as the basic structure of the building needs to be able to accommodate, without particular modifications, a company of approximately 900 staff on the entirety of the surface area, and be divisible into independent and separate areas of approximately 350 m2, able to accommodate all other intermediate configurations. The floors (from 12 to 18m wide) are therefore available neutral spaces. Their anticipated qualities are the optimization of circulation spaces and common services (cores) that relate to the office spaces, which maximise flexibility and adaptability.
Potential
The entrance to the Ramassiers neighbourhood in Colomiers, along the ‘Arc-en-Ciel’ ring road constitutes a prime location for an office building. This site has a potential for a strong presence and image that relates to its location in the urban agglomeration, situated in the immediate vicinity of the airport and the industrial aeronautical facilities in the West of Toulouse. This narrow site, with major road corridors on three of its sides, forms a compact footprint and an elongated building.
Interpretation
In order to avoid producing a monolithic, block like building, consisting of homogeneous floors of large open-spaces, we proposed to organize the building using parallel bands, the width of an office space plus circulation space (6.75m), and to then slide and stretch these bands both vertically and horizontally. Thus
the building has a "stepped-up" floor plan that organises north or south facing, small-sized workspaces around three vertical circulation cores. The gradual removal of certain surfaces in the upper floors reveals the band like configuration of the building, while generating terraces accessible from the floors. The ground floor plan organizes, in a fluid way the entrance areas, the reception area and convivial areas.
Building identity
The form and materiality of the building is based simply on its volume. The uniform northern and southern longitudinal façades are constructed from a curtain wall of dark glass, with anodized aluminium vertical screens, along the north facades, that stretch to form deep ribbed brise-soleil along the southern
facades. The gables, formed by successive saw tooth glazed facades, are coated with silver gray anodized aluminium. This rigorous and contrasting arrangement produces a strong and slender volumetric form, whose appearance varies with light, shadows and reflections.
Our work used the potential of the site and the design codes for this type of project to create a strong, precise and rigorous architecture, that is both assertive and accommodating to its site. It proposes a high rating level for building performance (BREEAM very good) and offers its users ample and welcoming
reception areas (indoor and outdoor) as well as pleasant, efficient and flexible workspaces.
