Biari Headquarter | Gorkem Volkan Design Studio

The project is a five-storey headquarter for a leading international
company located on Jeddah, KSA. The building respects the
architectural and historical references of the local area, as far as stone
to glass ratio and alignments are concerned, yet does so without direct
historical reference. The building has great functional flexibility and
uses a thin stone suspended skin as both a shading device and a strong
image-maker for its corporate owner, while satisfying the two-third
stone and one third glass zoning requirements.
The floor plates are freed of structural constraints while all the building
services are pushed into the two blind ends, since the building combines
different functions in it; while the ground floor has welcomes both
retail spaces and Office entrance and the first floor embraces the firm’s
working Office area.Biari Office Building will have been finalised in third
quarter of 2019.
