CHALLENGE

Design and coordinate a large-scale landscape and hardscape intervention for a 200,000 m2 commercial and AAA office complex. The conceptual and schematic architectural design was developed by CalisonRTKL. We were responsible for designing a project that was sophisticated and inspired by local culture while articulating different types of land use regulations, such as environmental fringes, mitigation plazas, and local parks. The design had to be fully coordinated using BIM 360 and meet LEED Gold standards.

STRATEGY

We developed a collaborative approach, both with the client and within our company. Using design workshops and design sprints in collaboration with Artifact ONE, we produced several iterations until we ultimately found inspiration in traditional Colombian patterns used in "sombreros" and various artifacts. This pattern was used to bring together the project both horizontally and vertically. All the design documentation for landscape and hardscape was developed in LOD 300-350.
