The Terra Office exemplifies how architecture can harmonise with nature while leveraging light to create an inviting workspace. Nestled in a lush green plot, the design respects the existing environment, integrating large trees into the layout. The office structure adopts a stepped design, with expansive deck spaces and a floating canopy that blurs the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.

The north-facing façade features generous windows that maximise natural light intake, while the southern tree provides essential shade. Vertical fins, inspired by tree trunks, reduce direct sunlight and enhance the aesthetic of the building. Central courtyards with skylights connect the workspace with the sky and surrounding greenery, allowing light to permeate the interior and fostering a productive and serene work environment.
