Agility
The Landing

Agility is a sophisticated response to a site surrounded on all sides by pedestrian, cycle, and vehicle roads. In response, the facility becomes a pavilion, engaging with its environment on every side. Working closely with the landscape architect, the office building is overlaid with a series of full height blades in colours drawn from the surrounding landscape, which provide passive solar protection to the workspaces and connect with framed views to the landscaped areas outside. This verticality is also extended to the warehouse elevation, relieving its mass and creating a distinct identity to the building while relating to the surrounding groves of trees.
