This project reinforced the importance of building user-centered features that offer value beyond aesthetics

This project represents a contemporary commercial facility designed by ZERROR with a strong focus on functionality, identity, and long-term usability. The architecture balances modern aesthetics with practical planning to support business operations, circulation, and future scalability.

The design approach emphasizes clean geometry, controlled proportions, and a refined material palette. The building massing is structured to create a strong visual presence while maintaining clarity in access, movement, and zoning. Vertical elements and façade detailing were carefully developed to enhance depth, rhythm, and architectural character.

ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING & SPATIAL DESIGN

Main Building Mass & Form

The primary structure is composed of simple, well-defined volumes arranged to establish a clear hierarchy between public, semi-public, and service areas. The form ensures efficient internal planning while projecting a professional corporate identity.

Entrance & Access

The main entrance is highlighted through vertical architectural elements and lighting integration, creating a welcoming and recognizable arrival point. Pedestrian and vehicular movements are clearly separated to improve safety and circulation.

Functional Zoning

Internal zoning is planned to support flexible commercial use, allowing smooth workflow, efficient space utilization, and future adaptability without structural disruption.
