The Aedas 'Contained Calls' project is one of the shortlisted entries from the Architects Journal '36 Calls' design competition. It's not hard to see why -- this structure comprised of piled-up pods is brilliant.
The Aedas 'Contained Calls' design was based on the old warehouse structures that once occupied the site. The commercial building features two columns of units stacked about four pods high; some of them extend further out over the surrounding water. Simply amazing.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Piled-up Pod Structures
- The use of piled-up pod structures in commercial buildings presents an opportunity to create unique and innovative workplaces.
- Multi-level Architecture
- The trend towards multi-level architecture in office buildings provides opportunities for space optimization, increased collaboration, and improved productivity.
- Structures Over Water
- Designing structures that extend over water offers opportunities for sustainable development in coastal cities, as well as creating visually stunning buildings.
Sectors Adopting This
- Architecture and Construction
- Incorporating piled-up pod structures and multi-level architecture into building designs creates opportunities for architects and construction professionals to stand out in a crowded market.
- Real Estate
- Incorporating innovative and visually stunning designs such as piled-up pod structures and structures over water into commercial real estate projects can lead to higher market demand and attract premium tenants.
- Sustainable Development
- Designing structures that incorporate sustainable elements such as structures over water can present opportunities for developers, builders, and investors to contribute to environmentally friendly projects while also creating unique and iconic structures.
