Modular Office Space Featuring Biofilter Systems and Glass Facades in A Sustainable Urban Setting

Project in-detail

Incorporating biofilter systems and expansive glass facades, the modular office space redefines urban work environments by enhancing air quality and natural light while promoting a flexible workspace.
5 key facts about this project
01
Modular units allow for easy reconfiguration based on user needs.
02
Integrated biofilter systems enhance indoor air quality.
03
Extensive glass facades maximize natural light and city views.
04
Cross-laminated timber panels provide structural efficiency and sustainability.
05
Innovative off-site construction methods ensure rapid assembly and reduced waste.
The Sustainable Office Platform is an architectural project designed for the urban landscape of Busan, South Korea. It reflects a response to the current demands of workspace functionality and environmental stewardship. By integrating flexible, modular office units within a sustainable framework, the design aims to address the evolving needs of contemporary professionals while promoting ecological sustainability.

Modularity is a key aspect of the project, enabling various configurations that support different work styles. The modular design allows individual units to be assembled or reconfigured based on the requirements of the users. This flexibility is essential in creating an adaptable workspace that can evolve over time, providing functionality without compromising design integrity.

The architectural approach employs an open layout that maximizes natural light and spatial fluidity. The use of glass facades enhances visual connectivity to the outside, allowing for impressive views of the surrounding cityscape and port area. This transparency creates an inviting atmosphere that encourages interaction among occupants and their environment.

Sustainable design features are incorporated throughout the project. The integration of urban greening strategies not only enhances the aesthetic quality but also serves as a means to improve air quality. Bio filter boosters are applied in the design to provide enhanced air circulation, contributing to a healthier indoor environment. These features emphasize the project’s commitment to sustainability and its role as a model for future architectural practices.

In terms of materials, the project utilizes a combination of reinforced concrete, steel framing, and biodegradable elements. Reinforced concrete provides structural integrity, while steel framing allows for dynamic spatial configurations. Glass facades are an essential element to optimize daylighting and foster a strong connection between the interior and exterior spaces.

The Sustainable Office Platform sets itself apart from conventional office designs through its emphasis on adaptability, sustainability, and user engagement. The innovative construction techniques facilitate a seamless assembly process, ensuring operational efficiency. By prioritizing natural elements and integrating advanced technologies, the project enhances the overall work experience.

For a comprehensive understanding of the Sustainable Office Platform, we encourage readers to delve deeper into the project presentation. Review architectural plans, sections, and details to gain insights into the design methodologies and unique features that define this architectural project.

Design a new small-scale home concept in the 10th edition of MICROHOME — 100,000 € prize + construction

Competition organisers

The 10th edition of the MICROHOME architecture competition invites architects and designers from around the world to explore the possibilities of compact, sustainable living. Hosted by Buildner in collaboration with Kingspan and Hapi Homes, this special edition challenges participants to design an off-grid, modular microhome for a young professional couple, with a maximum floor area of 25 m². Designs should prioritize innovation, efficiency, and real-world feasibility. 

A total prize fund of 100,000 € will be awarded, including three main prizes, the Kingspan Award, and the Hapi Homes Award, which will grant 15,000 € and lead to the construction of the selected design. The final registration deadline is September 25, 2025, and winners will be announced on Decebmer 9, 2025. For full competition details and submission guidelines, visit microhome.info.
