Avian Innovation Center came as an ambition from one of the leading paint companies in South-East Asia to build the most well-equipped research and development center. This project is situated in front of Avian's industrial factory complex and has an aim to establish the face of the complex way more compelling in an appropriate manner.

The main task is to convert the existing area which tend to be narrow and extensive into something colorful and inviting. Instead of following a grid system, a diverse composition of monolithic boxes and vibrant colored negative space are proposed to produce a dynamic look as well as creating a point of interest. This negative space will act like a balcony that connected to a library. The balcony will be encased by a modern facade system with the usage of floor to floor glass and colorful aluminum sheet panels which countered the monolithic facade. The gray facade will indicate a private & more serious activity. 

"This idea came from a collection of the color chart shown by the client which then later transferred into a unique colorful facade as if we are looking at a color palette."

There are three main programs that shape the Avian Innovation Center. Spacious gallery & meeting rooms on the ground floor, a high-end laboratory which can be noticed by its gray facade, and an open-plan office that revolves around a central void. While serving the function of both office and laboratory, this design is also planned with a deep concern about user's safety & building management system.

A 5-floor-tall-void is placed in the middle as the main activity generator and also a connector for all of these programs by creating space for common activity around it, such as a playroom, relaxing area, as well as open discussion and meeting area. Not only that, but the cantilever as the result of dynamic mass serves the same function by providing space for resting areas both for the guest and employees.
