Kaizen Campus

The main focus points of the design of Kaizen Campus are aesthetics, environmental impact and user experience. The building has been designed to be a landmark but also functional and user friendly.

The facade design provides shading and filters the noise while accentuating the elliptical shape and multi-directionality of the building via the repetition of vertical louvers that follow its organic geometry.

The only way to achieve integration is to make the building invisible and blur the boundaries, the sea, the activity, the flowing light, the boat, and the landscape. Viewing the sea is to enjoy a mood. Transparency is less about the beauty of distance. By fused glass and double sandblasted glass wall, different looks of sunlight, climate, and reflection angles present different moods. The sea has different colors and faces every day.
