The design for the Axiom Town Headquarter Complex by MBAD Arquitectos + X Architects aims to have good urban quality, a young and smart-casual feel, an outstanding look, and an innovative solution to all functional and operational objectives. In order to achieve these desired workspace qualities, the concept includes integrating the landscape with the building and blurring the edge between the interior and the exterior. The architectural edge becomes an active edge not only between the immediate interior and exterior of the building, but also between the interior and the created exterior space within the building while also forming the program spaces. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The architectural edge establishes a relationship with all the different spaces in the building including work spaces and walkways. The size and height of the program spaces vary according to the functional requirements. All the spaces are developed in a way such that every occupant, whether public or private, is allowed to interact with the central exterior landscape. The site is located in Dubai Silicon Oasis, which is a 7.2 km.sq free zone in Dubai. It has a finished network of roads allowing quick access to Dubai’s major highways. Although the area is an arid, unbound area that is still developing, any new construction should relate to this context.
