1. Bridging the Old and the New
From the entrance plaza, visitors are guided along a ceremonial axis that cuts through the existing government building, leading into a triangular atrium—an open, naturally ventilated and daylit space. Continuing along this sequence, one arrives at the elevator core in the rear building, forming a processional spatial journey that links old and new through a sense of rhythm and progression. This carefully choreographed path reinforces the physical and experiential connection between the two structures.
The triangular atrium serves as a spatial hinge—an intersection where flows of people converge from all directions. A skylight above floods the space with natural light, enhancing the sense of arrival and imbuing the atrium with a welcoming, luminous atmosphere. More than a circulation node, it becomes a transitional pause point—part meeting place, part informal social hub—fostering chance encounters and encouraging a sense of community cohesion.
2. Ground-Level Integration
A newly introduced central corridor within the government building connects both structures at the ground level. Whether it’s employees returning from parking areas or colleagues commuting between departments, all movement is now funneled through the triangular atrium and into the elevator lobby of the materials building. This not only streamlines circulation between the two buildings but also enriches the journey with a more comfortable and human-scaled environment, complete with places to rest and gather along the way.
3. Vertical Connection Between Buildings
To further enhance interconnectivity, a new external stair has been added, linking the fourth-floor terrace of the materials building with the fifth floor of the government building. This elevated connection supports quick and direct access between the two, recognizing the frequency of interaction between staff members. The stair is designed as a cantilevered truss structure, elegantly hovering without physically touching the government building—creating a light yet expressive architectural gesture that speaks to the precision and thoughtfulness of the intervention.
