Phnom Penh, 2024

For Daun Penh (Cambodia) Group, the design brings together a data center and office, each with distinct lifespans and requirements, using a modular grid system to ensure cost and time efficiency while allowing for future changes. The flexible structure makes it easy to extend or modify each building with minimal disruption, maintaining essential functions and access points. A half covered courtyard connects the two buildings and serves as the heart of the project, offering space for relaxation, informal gatherings, and team building events, and encouraging open communication and a welcoming atmosphere. By integrating adaptable construction with a communal, health focused hub, the design supports operational efficiency and helps build a strong sense of connection for everyone who works here, reflecting best practices in office and data center architecture in Cambodia and Southeast Asia.
