offices & shopping mall phase
located in Nassau, Bahamas
design proposal from 2018
architect of record: The Architects Incorporated

Located just minutes from downtown Nassau and the Palmdale Commercial District, the new office building will offer over 44,000 square feet of rentable space.
The design of the facades responds thoughtfully to solar orientation. On the sun-exposed South and West sides, an orthogonal grid of protruding columns and slabs creates a shading system that protects the windows. In contrast, the North facade—permanently in shadow—is flat, with all elements aligned in a single plane.
A landscaped plaza provides a gentle transition between the busy street and the main entrance, inviting visitors into the building. Above the entrance, a large canopy punctuated with skylights shelters occupants from the elements while allowing natural light to filter through.
On the upper floor, a terrace garden offers a private outdoor space for informal gatherings and peaceful lunch breaks, enhancing the building’s user experience.
