Here is a curated selection of HDD architectural projects worldwide.
This project is located in San Francisco, Bush 350. The present situation of the building is the San Francisco minerals exchange which is the historic preservation of building. In this project our task is to design anther new building above the original mineral exchange, and we use the structure of the giant frame to protect the original exchange.
In order to improve the standard of living in the city of Dhaka, the government of Bangladesh conceived for the city of Jolshiri to have a CBD, which comprises of commercial facilities, modern residential buildings, educational and medical facilities covering about 500,000㎡ in area. The design uses a modern approach to solve the issues relating to ecology and energy-saving.
The design concept “water ripples” is influenced by the waterbody directly on the site. The Blue Ripple: symbolize the national charm of Bangladesh, which implies the bright future and infinite vitality for the nation. The 3 rings created by the water ripple will be allocated for public space (urban culture), commercial buildings (international business platform), and residential functions respectively. In between these function will hold an urban green for recreational and leisure purposes.
The Jolshiri Central Complex boasts a site area of 9,481m2 and a total Gross Floor Area of 29,489 m2, offering panoramic views of the city's riverfront and convenient transportation access.
Inspired by the white water lily, Bangladesh's national flower, the design seamlessly integrates the elegance of the water lily into the commercial complex, perpetuating the pure and noble aesthetics of the Bangladeshi nation and creating a uniquely charming urban landmark.
This project is located in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with a total site area of 7,489.41 square meters and a capacity of 100 classes/5,000 students. The building area is 43,796 square meters. The design cleverly connects the teaching buildings with the auditorium through terraced sky garden platforms, creating overlapping green spaces that evoke the feeling of being in a forest. The variously shaped public spaces become ideal areas for outdoor communication, sharing, and interaction, providing diverse space usage options for both students and teachers. The layered spatial design fosters greater connections and interactions, blurring the boundaries between the inside and outside. The open circulation spaces offer unobstructed views both inward and outward, while the staggered terraces bring the outdoor landscape into multiple functional areas within the building.
