The building is bisected along its north to south axis into two volumes.
The base is further articulated with further volume that echoes the scale of the heritage building to the west.

Continuity is maintained across the volumes through repeating eight-story modules that reference the adjacent
structure.

Balconies offer expansive out-door spaces with their views to the park.

views at higher floors


ABC Cancer Center

The health care centre was designed by HKS Architects in 2021 and it is located in Mexico city,Mexico. it has a cpverage area of 65 000sqm.

The main hospital sits across the street, so the approach was to find connectivity with it, take advantage of views of the city skyline toward the south and prevent undesired views of adjacent rooftops, while at the same time providing with much needed natural light into every space available

A portion of the project site is allotted for a neighborhood park to further serve the community and integrate the building into the neighborhood fabric.

FAC’ADE GLAZING METHODOLOGY

A combination of vision glass was used to enhance and frame views, while spandrel and sand blasted glass served to block and filter natural light in others so patients would not face undesired lines of sight.


Orientkaj and Nordhavn

Metro Station was designed by Cobe Architects in 2020. it is located in Kobenhavh, denmark.

The overground Orientkaj Station celebrates the large-scale volumes and brutalist features of the docklands’s industrial past, but opens up to reveal a passenger-focused, human scale detailing on the inside.

The underground Nordhavn station borrows from the design vocabulary of the recently opened cityringen metroline -for which Arup led the architectural design- with the distinctive red cladding of transfer stations.

Anchored by bold concrete claws onto the
Copenhagen harbour, the station is designed as a
glass, concrete, and aluminum box commandeering
panoramic views over the Orientkaj dock.

The architects passenger-focused approach is highlighted by the detailing inside, from the lighting to the to the material palette.
