Open Space
I was strongly influenced by the articles in ‘Journal of facilities management’ where they talk about the crucial impacts of interior layout and indoor environment qualities on the occupants. Architectural designs with bad ventilation and temperature control can have an affect on occupants’ health while poorly designed layout can affect occupants’ productivity. For example, a small open-plan office with crowded people tends to have higher room temperatures and poorer ventilation.
I took a strong consideration of these negative impacts and came up with a solution to my design that ensures the indoor comfort and productivities of the occupants.
My office has three levels and 4 main areas.
Down at the first level of my design, the reception area, I used aluminium screens for the façade and the interior roof to provide maximum ventilation to the enclosed space.
The selection of material and the design of the pattern were inspired from my first journal, ‘The Canadian Architect’. In the article ‘Crystal Clear’ the architect wanted materials ranging from clear to translucent to enhance the light quality of interiors.
The textures were made by using alpha channels in Photoshop.
Up we go to the second level; to ensure good ventilation I have partially enclosed the space with a slanted glass façade and a tensile roof. In between, the curving wall separates the space into two main areas – a large conference area and meeting areas.
The curved wall serves many purposes - It act as sound barer and visual barer avoiding distraction from the other side of the space which can affect the productivity of the occupants. The curved space created between the glass façade and wall further separate the meeting area into two smaller areas as the curvature of the wall virtually creates another 'imaginary' barer within the curved space. By using the curved space instead of putting a wall in between, material and cost can be reduced.
The partially enclosed space and curved space allows fresh air to flow across and throughout level two providing good interior ventilation and temperature control. This will ensure healthier indoor environment to the occupants.
The material used for the curving walls are mostly timber with a little bit of steel on the edges. Timbers are also used for parts of the floor. Timber gives a nice comforting feeling to the occupants and may affect their mood and productivity positively.
Texture of the timber and steel are all self-made from photographs using Photoshop.
Privacy
Inside the meeting area the inner face of façade glass are presentation screens showing information about my journals and my design processes. They are media textured with the URL of my blog.
Privacy is vital to some offices because it allows the occupants to have sensitive discussions such as company strategies or personal things. To ensure my design provides both privacy and sunlight to the office occupants I have applied an opacity variable script to the glass façade and the tensile roof. So my design can be exposed to public during an informal meeting and be private during a formal meeting. I have added whisper scripts to my furniture to inform people how to vary the opacity.
Eco-Friendly
From my second and third journal ‘Journal of Facilities Management’ and ‘Urban Design International’ I have learned that is it very important to reduce the cost and energy consumption of buildings and to increase the space of green. In my design I have used materials such as timber and stone to make my design more sustainable. The tensile roof is used to reduce cost. Tensile structures are cheaper than tile roofs or any other kinds of roofs; it provides shelter and good indoor ventilation. 
Also LED lights are used to reduce energy consumption. To further save the energy consumption I have considered switching the lights off when unused. I achieved this by using a “on” and “off” switch script. This will ensure energy is saved during day times.
The presentation screens can also be turned off, just by saying “screenoff”, and to turn them back on say “screenon”.
Up we go again, to level three, the green area. This is a public area where people can come and relax under the sun and enjoy the view. The idea of green was inspired by the article “More green space in a denser city” from my third journal “Urban Design International”. Green architecture has many benefits to the environment and the health of people. Most importantly green architecture is a killer to greenhouse gas emissions, protecting our planet from global warming. So ensuring my design is green I have covered the entire level three with grass, as well as parts of the entrance stairs and level two floors.
My design is also self-sustained. The suspended three sided presentation screens placed between the façade and curving wall picks up the wind flow from the curving space and rotates, transforming energies and producing free electricity.
Okay, down we go back to level two. The elevator is made by using an elevator script. The elevator shell is in a tube shape because circular shapes takes up less space than edged shapes.
Dynamic
The combination of curving walls, slanted façades and rooftop lights offers a dynamic enclosure to the curving space. Furniture like tables and reception desk also has dynamic shapes and patterns. 
Note that all the chairs (except roof chairs) are one prim generated with sculpt maps. This makes my design more sustainable 'virtually'. I made a teleport hub to the sky to view my design from the bird’s eye view. From this view you can see my design connects and interacts with neighbouring green designs.
