This building features a very long and narrow layout, measuring 18 meters in width and 92 meters in length. The width is divided into two spans—6 meters and 12 meters—while the length consists of a series of continuous 4-meter spans. This modular structure was selected as a rational solution to accommodate the varying proportions of rooms required for different uses, ranging from a minimum of 24 square meters to a maximum of 336 square meters.
The 4-meter grid includes braced bays every other span to resist horizontal forces. Along the 6-meter span side, each 4m × 6m unit provides 24m²; along the 12-meter span side, each 4m × 12m unit offers 48m². When incorporating a central corridor, 4m × 9.5m units yield 38m². Rooms are configured by combining these modular units as needed.
The braced bays also serve as vertical shafts for the building’s mechanical and utility systems. As long as the minimum unit size is maintained, every room—regardless of how the layout is divided—can access these vertical shafts. This enables flexible reconfiguration in the future.
Unlike conventional buildings where load-bearing walls and service shafts are concealed, this design positions them between a corrugated glass exterior and a polycarbonate interior, forming a translucent surface that admits natural light. Lighting fixtures are installed within the shafts, functioning as both exterior illumination at night and ambient interior lighting. Each shaft wall serves multiple roles: structural support, housing for mechanical systems, a source of natural light, and a lighting fixture.
