Project Details
The office building in Dar Es Salam, Tanzania is organic with an aerodynamic silhouette that contrasts with rigid urban boxes, improving wind flow around the structure and reducing heat gain through optimal orientation. The architecture respects its proximity to the beach by avoiding rigid massing, instead embracing fluidity and openness. The curved, undulating façade clearly evokes the rhythm and motion of ocean wave, giving an elegant homage to the building’s coastal location.
The blue glass reinforces the building’s conceptual inspiration drawn from waves, creating a strong visual identity while maximizing natural light and views of the beach. The structure appears to flow like water, softening the urban experience and connecting occupants to the nearby natural environment, enhancing psychological well-being.
