About Nestwood Galery Binneruimte-ontwerp

Nestwood is 'n galery- en kantoorinterieur wat geskep is as 'n gedeelde ruimte vir kreatiewe bedrywe. Die interieur beslaan 600 vierkante meter oor twee verdiepings. Generatiewe ontwerpmetodes het die organiese vorms van die ruimte gevorm. Robotiese digitale vervaardiging is gebruik om die komplekse geometrie in marine-gehalte vlekvrye staal, glasvesel-versterkte gips, marmer en geperforeerde aluminium te bou. 'n Organies gevormde ontvangsarea merk die ingang en word gerugsteun deur 'n klein bio-dam. 'n Sentrale atrium met natuurlik-geïnspireerde mure en 'n trap dien as 'n spilpunt vir die uitruil van idees.

Unique Properties
The Nestwood Gallery is an oasis shared by multiple creative industries.
The design process uses experimental generative design to create an organic space. Each spatial detail is further fabricated with robots using the latest digital fabrication technology to replicate the complex geometry from the computer.
An organically shaped reception marks the entrance and greets the visitors, backed by a mini bio-pond: a mini-ecosystem is balanced by the atrium light, nitrogen, recycled water and minor species. The visitor is then welcomed by naturally inspired atrium walls, where a stair case leads the visitor to the upper level.

Design Challenge
The creative challenge is to realize designers full vision outside the industry's comfort zone. Manifold Lab experimented multiple digital fabrication method to create the full architectural scale space.
Research
Design research: generative design, NURBs, catmull-clark Subdivision
Material research: robotics, GFRG, stainless steel bending, laser cutting, CNC marble
Inspiration
Mathematical forms inspire the organic office space that exists in nature - the design seeks balance between beauty and ration. Program wise, the oasis is aimed to be a creative exchange space for designers and creative industries.
Multiple experimental fabrication methods were explored before finalizing the design to realize the designers' vision.
Project Duration
Project started in 2020 and finished in September 2022 in Toronto.
Operation Flow
The central atrium act as a hub for design teams to exchange ideas.
