Eastside‘s spot does not only guarantee extreme visibility for their clients and accessibility, it also entices an outspread amount of traffic originating splendid opportunities for potential & potent customers. Castle development is constantly delivering integrated high standards of quality to their clients’. Our design reflects our essence drive; the

Being built on an area of 168,000 acres, the New Administrative Capital is equivalent to the size of the city of Singapore. The first phase is being built on an area of 40,000 acres to accommodate an average of 7 million people. The New Administrative Capital consists of Governmental District, Money & Business District, New Presidential Palace, North Mohammed bin Zabid settlement, Residential districts, Opera House, Expo City, Green River, Smart Village, and Railway Station & Knowledge City having all reputable universities.

The volume of the Eastside Business Plaza is strategically shaped in response to a series of site-driven constraints, resulting in a distinctively sculptural form. Since the seven floors of the building differ in the functionality, the atrium at the center of the structure forms a cocoon for meditation and mental relaxation due to airflow running through the building and openness from the difference in floor heights. Similarly, the roofline stretches upward to connect to a seventh-floor overlook, thereby establishing a visual connection between administrative, medical and commercial spaces through the building.

By connecting these collective amenities, the new Eastside Business Plaza provides opportunities for administrative offices, medical clinics and retail spaces to intermingle as they traverse between the building block, while also fostering a greater sense of community within the structure.

In plan, the atrium tapers as it crosses between the void of the building to accommodate slight differences in the column grids between buildings. What began as a response to the physical variation between the buildings’ was embraced as a formal strategy: the squeezing and stretching of the volume results in perspectival illusion, both within the bridge and when viewed from below.

On the exterior, standard curtainwall extrusions have been modified to accept layered sheets of frameless glass, resulting in ever-changing patterns of shadow and reflection. On the bridge’s underbelly at the entrance, silver aluminum panels are shingled in correspondence with the curtainwall to create a textured ‘third-façade’ when viewed from below. Together, the shingled face of the bridge envelope adds a layer of delicacy to its sculptural volume.

To optimize the available square footage, a highly integrated design utilizing a cantilevered steel superstructure creates a column-free interior space with maximum perimeter transparency. Two full floors apart from the ground floor dedicated to retail space providing the equivalent of in a void volume atrium providing a clear space with indirect lighting from a skylight.

Through an unprecedented design to achieve maximum transparency, insulated glass panels are stacked one above the other, without mullions, to form the façade. Comprised of layers of laminated glass and an insulating air space. Using cutting edge glass technology, this project embodies the spirit of modernist structures, where the building utilizes the largest possible openings to achieve daylit retail spaces.

The spatial efficiency found in cast iron architecture is expressed in the new building’s column-free interior space and highly transparent façade, continuing a modern age building tradition while reflecting the Castle development’s desire to create an inviting and memorable retail space. Eastside will gain a single unifying environment for future tenants, with ultra-flexibly equipped retail spaces and common facilities that will act as a catalyst for cross-cutting collaboration between the various retail outlets. The new construction is not only intended to provide a building in the new capital, but also to accommodate the park within the building. With a glass-covered green atrium, the outdoor area is continued through the building, thereby reinforcing the social qualities of a social environment.

The building's openness, created amongst other things by way of a transparent, inviting ground floor with access to the atrium as well as a café and public seating areas, also forms new linkages between the indoor and outdoor greenery, and thereby opens up the Eastside Mall towards the planned New Capital, which will be directly adjacent.

The project reflects the light and airy palette, the many subtle futuristic references, and the numerous outdoor spaces made possible by the almost-always sunny, pleasant climate. At the heart of the project sits a light-flooded atrium surrounded by private offices and clinics. The atrium is bisected by a sculptural stair, connecting the levels and creating a social condenser.

To amplify the connection between levels, the floorplates are changing their outlines, producing overhangs, balconies and unexpected vistas.The facade is designed to allow for maximum flexibility on the interior and the equitable retail structure, where all spaces have similar window sizes. Through a repetitive vertical fin system, the facade is structured to be simple and minimalist, with only one moment interrupting the repetitive system.

The project consists of the integral conditioning of a commercial space located in at the New Capital for a multi-use building with the purpose of retail, medical and administrative spaces. The installation of medical clinics is an integral part of the project and, in parallel, determine the parameters that will define the corporate image of the project.

The premises are arranged on two floors, with access from the commercial foundation that runs parallel to a broad front façade. The facade to the street, of northwest orientation, is located in a building with integral urban protection. Protection that prevents any reconfiguration of the facade gaps. The necessary privacy demanded by each of the medical spaces which convert the general space of circulation and waiting room areas in the real protagonist of the proposal.

Reception, waiting and customer service, as well as all the general circulations of the project are resolved with a geometry that aims to blur the limits of each of these uses, giving them continuity. This continuity is achieved by eliminating any edge and giving it a texture that accompanies and identifies that condition. Fluidity that contrasts with the parallelepiped geometry of each of the medical uses.

At the same time, the partitions in opposition to the introversion of technical uses, the spatial continuity with the outside of the clinic is sought at all times. Continuity that facilitates the availability, in front of the projected access, of an urban space as a widening of the corridors and "square" prior to the clinic spaces.
