英美烟草孟加拉国公司（BATB）是孟加拉国最大的国际公司，其总部和工厂分布在全国各地。客户希望有一个现代的设计，有酒店式的设施，这将代表他们在库什蒂亚区边缘的巨大工业发展。该项目是为公司的高级官员和客人提供的休息场所（临时住宿）。该设计不是简单地提供临时住宿，而是试图为客人提供一个探索特权景观的体验。

British American Tobacco Bangladesh (BATB) is Bangladesh’s largest international corporation, with headquarters and factories located around the country. The client desired a contemporary design with hotel-like amenities which will represent their vast industrial development in the fringe of the Kushtia, district. The project is a rest house (temporary accommodation) for Company’s high officials and guests. Instead of simply offering temporary accommodation, the design attempted to provide guests with an exploratory experience of the privileged landscape.

概念 – 我们的想法是创造一个机器出现的现代结构，保留人类干预自然景观的独特特征。一个不对称的十字形结构，由两个长方形的体量组成，被纳入了360°的视角来捕捉周围的壮观环境。此外，该建筑矗立在支撑上层平台的引桥上，允许自然进入机械化结构。欣赏者从一个升高的栖息地被拉向地平线。

Concept – The idea was to create a machine appeared contemporary structure that retains the unique traits of human interventions in the natural landscape. An asymmetric cruciform form, consisting of two rectangular volumes has been incorporated to capture the 360° perspective of the spectacular surroundings. Besides, the building is standing on the pilotis that hold the upper platform, allowing nature to enter the mechanized structure. The admirers are pulled to the horizon from a raised perch.

背景 – 休息所位于库什蒂亚的特里莫霍尼，位于孟加拉国的西南部。休息所位于BAT MLD（Mirpur Leaf Depoe）仓库的场地内。它位于仓库的南部。场地周围是令人着迷的空地，从西边到东边一直延伸到地平线。这种环境激励着建筑师设计出一个可以到达地平线的投影浮动体。

Context – The rest house is located in Trimohoni, Kushtia, which is in the southwest part of Bangladesh. The rest house is on the premises of the BAT MLD (Mirpur Leaf Depoe) warehouse. It is positioned at the south of the warehouses. The site is bordered by mesmerizing open fields that stretch to the horizon from the west to the east side. The context inspires the architect to design a projected floating volume that reaches the horizon.

功能性–为了维护游客的隐私，客户希望界墙保持稳固。因此，我们的想法是将体量抬高到地面之上，并看到固体边界之外。而且，地面上的景观是开放的，可以通过它进行融合。会议室、餐厅、健身房和祈祷厅等公共功能位于南北向的长条形体量中，条状的可移动开口将整个体量向景观展开。

Functionality – In order to maintain the privacy of visitors, the client wanted the boundary wall to remain in solid. Therefore, the idea was to elevate the volume above the ground and see beyond the solid boundary. And, the ground is left open to the landscape for blending through it. The public functions as conferences, Dining, Gym, and Prayer Hall are located in the north-south elongated mass and the strip-looking moveable openings unfold the entire mass to the landscape.

此外，一个动态的开放楼梯升入空间，将漂浮的体块与地面连接起来。实体空隙的俏皮构图框住了一天的升起和落下。游泳池被放置在亲密的院子里，并被清洗设施的体量所掩盖。所有的住宿设施都被放置在东西向的长条形建筑群中，南北向的阳台向景观延伸。包含管道的铁笼子也被当作门窗的元素来处理。两个长方形的交错允许阳光照射在令人惊叹的玻璃楼梯上，该楼梯在空隙中被抬起。

Furthermore, a dynamic open stair rises into the space and connects the floating mass with the ground. The playful composition of the solid void of the fenestration frames the day as it rises and sets. The pool is placed in the intimate courtyard and obscured by the massing of wash facilities. All the accommodations are placed in the east-west elongated mass in the north-south orientation with extended balconies toward the landscape. The iron cages which contain ducts are also treated as elements of fenestration. The interlocking of two rectangles allows the sun above the stunning glass stair that is raised inside the void.

可持续发展的干预措施–客户的要求坚持要有更大的占地面积，但设计中加入了高层的解决方案，以尽量减少占地面积，并最大限度地发挥周围景观的潜力。 尽管客户希望在室内大部分地方安装机械通风系统，但设计强调了在大部分设施中使用自然通风的可能性。在公共区域引入了可移动的玻璃隔断，可以完全向自然光和通风开放。由于南北朝向，所有的卧室一年四季都有持续的微风和自然光。延伸的阳台和屋顶保护外墙不受直接的热增益，并提供遮阳。西面的墙是坚固的，避免热量渗入室内。安装了一个雨水收集系统来收集水进行再利用。

Sustainability Interventions – The requirements of the client insisted on a larger footprint but the design incorporated a high-rise solution to minimize the footprint and maximize the potential of the surrounding landscape. Even though the client wanted to install a mechanical ventilation system in the majority of the interior, the design emphasizes the possibility of using natural ventilation in most of the facilities. Moveable glass partitions are introduced in the public zones that can be entirely open up to natural lighting and ventilation. All the bedrooms are flooded with a continuous flow of breeze and natural light all over the year due to the north-south orientation. The extended balconies and roof protect the facades from direct heat gain and provide shade. The west wall is firmed that avoid heat seeping into the interior. A rainwater harvesting system is installed to collect water for reuse.

材料和施工 – 由于客户希望用动态的方法来定义他们的组织。因此，清水混凝土被引入，因为它具有美观的外观和自然的趋势，可以保持更大的跨度。柱梁结构系统由于其施工的便利性而被采用。 所有的开口都使用了黑色的铝制框架和透明的玻璃，与混凝土的粗糙度相得益彰。

Material And Construction – As the client wanted a dynamic approach to defining their organization. Therefore, fair-faced concrete is introduced because of its aesthetic appearance and natural tendency to hold bigger spans. The column beam structural system is incorporated due to its convenience of construction. Black aluminum frames with clear glass are used in all the openings which complement the rawness of concrete.
