H.O.M.E. – Housing and Office Modular Environment Live-where-you-work-where-you-live.- by Ricardo Goncalves, Matheus Marques, Luis Favilla & Rolando Figueiredo
The office building, symbol of the modern metropolis of the 20th century, presents itself now as an obsolete heritage given the ravaging power of a hidden enemy that forces us to seek shelter in our own homes. The financial districts, the large
commercial centers with glass skyscrapers are pale, unrecognizable without the single element that gives them meaning: the people.
Even after activities resume and a certain stability obtained, we know that our work relations will undergo profound changes that will directly affect the demand for office
spaces. With more people working remotely, there is indication that commercial buildings may become less relevant, causing a reduced area needed by corporations to
accommodate their staff.
Granted that, what shall be the future of so many office buildings in the urban centers? Our proposal intends to transcend the individual, isolated residential scale and to
imagine how we could recreate our cities in a post-Covid-19 world by radically transforming the existing commercial buildings. Our idea is to intensify mixed use by
utilizing the structure of these buildings to promote a direct symbiosis between office and habitation.
Within current commercial towers, a few office floors would have their uses maintained, being interspaced with new residential floors. Different apartment layouts would be vertically connect to at least one office module in a newly devised “plug-in
type” connection system. In this way, the residents guarantee an adequate workspace, free from domestic interferences, but directly connected to home nonetheless. In
contrast, the offices may function with independent access though their exclusive hallway, maintaining the necessary professional atmosphere between clients and
external staff. With this system, we have achieved the ideal level of proximity between house and work.
The rooftop of these buildings would provide essential green and leisure areas to fulfil our permanent need of external contact, a commodity that, in the post-Covid-19 world, is as rare as precious for all those who felt the artificiality of the enclosed spaces
of current apartments.
