Description

Since this building consists of independent hexagonal modules, the structural support is also modular. It fully supports the load of one hexagon (plus the hexagon(s) on top), and doesn’t connect to other neighboring hexagons. This independence allows easy rearrangement whenever the need arises, removing or adding without the hinderance and compliance of others typical during renovation projects. For the more unique spaces (eg the hexagons with shafts for stairs and elevators), architectural walls were turned into structural, thereby reducing the sq ft taken up by columns in the interior.
