alderley park research area

client: astra zeneca

Astra Zeneca’s intention is to condense the activity within this area and to improve the communication to create a modern and well functioning centre for pharmaceutical research and development. New buildings are carefully inserted in between existing buildings with a primary circulation spine named link infrastructure.

The link infrastructure was perceived as a seamless journey between internal and external experience. Structures are kept to the simplest and minimum with frameless glass facades to perform as a transparent skin for comfort weather separation. Material palette kept to the minimum to satisfy site vision strategy.
