Contemporary commercial buildings have become increasingly conservative in their design due to the prevailing marking conditions; land, construction and labour cost, restrictive planning and environmental codes, profit margin and speed of construction implies very little innovation in the architectural approach to commercial buildings. As interior designer, the consideration of efficiency, servicing and cost often lead to schemes that tends to be very compliant to the existing orthogonal shell and core where the spatial and movement quality is often repetitive and restrictive: an endless rows of work spaces that repeats along the building grids. This iterative approach inevitably delivers interior spaces that are disassociated externally from its context and internally from its users experience in a bid to drive a higher saleable area. The background of the Paul Run Asset office is not dissimilar to the above described. Following a thorough site survey and detail brief study, we however noticed some subtle opportunities: whilst the structural grid is efficiently laid out, the headroom, underfloor service and a relative generous provision of space per head derived from the brief imply a comparatively relaxed circulation space is possible and that there is a lot of scope to re-define the ceiling plan.
