sPARK
Leasing Center
A compact yet innovative project within the dynamic sPARK development, the Leasing Center reimagines the traditional concept of a campus hub.
Initially designed for leasing activities, the sPARK Leasing Center offers an immersive experience for potential tenants, users, and partners. With adaptability and mobility at its core, it seamlessly transitions into an ancillary meeting space as the campus evolves, creating a structure that embraces the fluidity and evolution of the campus.
During its leasing phase, the center provides a compelling introduction to the sPARK campus. Its design, characterized by interplay between mass and void, carves away sections to reveal warm wooden elements, establishing a harmonious connection with nature. Strategic placement of exterior apertures provides glimpses of focal points across the campus, igniting curiosity and setting the stage for exploration.
Designed to be moved throughout its lifespan, the center overcomes the challenges of relocation while simultaneously maintaining its architectural integrity. Its design philosophy balances the art of floating above the landscape, symbolizing the transient nature of the early development phases, and grounding itself within the future greenspace. This thoughtful integration ensures a seamless transition as the center finds its permanent home along the central greenway.
