Four E-com Center
Four E-com Center is a 2 million square foot (189,756 m2) office development owned by SM Prime located in Pasay City, Philippines and is a part of the overall SM Mall of Asia master plan also designed by Arquitectonica. This development consists of 11 office levels above four parking levels, with entrance lobbies and ancillary retail at the ground and podium levels.
The latest addition to the campus of E-com buildings. This project was designed to address the current demand of the call center industry in the Philippines. A maximum GFA was achieved despite challenges presented by a high-water table and a low aviation-related height limit. The design of three adjacent towers extruded up from a shared podium, cut into rhomboid formations inspired by crystals, create large floorplates providing maximum city views while introducing natural light to the interiors. The towers feature flat and inclined facade surfaces layered over by linear feature fins running from the tower to the podium. Monumental staircases come from three points running alongside each tower while carving through the podium to navigate the public towards a garden podium deck. A network of elevated footbridges was incorporated to improve connectivity and to provide an enjoyable and pleasant walking environment for pedestrians.
