INTEGRATION HIGHLIGHTS
Open Office
Custom Facade
Subsidium’s recommended floorplan came after considerations from all stakeholders. Careful column placement minimized view interruptions. Knockout slabs and raised floor plenum allowed for maximum flexibility for tenants. Resiliency was also a major design factor in designing the office systems.
TLD/CT
To better address resiliency, reliability, and occupant comfort, the team worked in a collaborative and integrative manner to develop the concept of a tuned liquid damper/cooling tower combination. This combined system will allow for an increased comfort factor under everyday loading situations while being operated as a cooling tower in order to reject heat from the mechanical system.
MEP Relocation
The main mechanical room was relocated from the penthouse to the 10th floor through discussions and analysis of the benefits. This change allowed savings in both power and materials for the project. Structurally, the relocation of the mechanical room allowed the column load to decrease. Mechanically, the design change reduced the total distance of air and refrigerant movement needed in the building.
The design of the facade is unique to each directional environment. Materials were chosen and placed where analyzes and iterations proved to be important and beneficial. This enclosure design was based on heavy collaboration among every architecture and engineering discipline. The impact of this design was based not only on one design theme, but all design themes set forward by Subsidium.
