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.
Dimensions & Packaging: 600 square meter, 2 floors office
30 m (l) x 10 m (w) x 7m (h)
Digital Fabrication Material Specs: 316L Marine Grade Stainless Steel, Glass Fiber Reinforced Gympsum, Nero Marquina Marble, Perforated Aluminum with Flurocarbon Coating, Plated Fiberglass & CNC Baltic Birch
Tags: office, digital fabrication, z square group, manifold lab, computational design, generative design
Production Technology: Stainless Steel 316L Digital Fabrication: Cold forming & robotic folding
GFRG: Robotic Forming
Perforated Metal: Laser Cut
Coffee Table: Robotic & CNC
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.
