Cooper Surgical Lab & Warehouse
ArchiChord
was
hired
to
design
a
new
architectural
wonder
that
would
function
as
an
annex
of
the
Tech
&
Lab
office
and
warehouse
facility
for
the
Cooper
Surgical
headquarters
building
situated
on
a
hill.
The
headquarters
building
was
the
work
of Seung Hyeon Park, the founder of the ArchiChord office.
The
new
structure
includes
a
large
20,000
sq.ft.
office
space
for
engineers
and
a
vast
60,000
sq.ft.
warehouse.
The
main
design
aim
was
to
create
a
campus
that
blended
seamlessly
with
the
form
of
the
existing
headquarters
building,
creating
a
cohesive
look
for
the
entire
Cooper
Surgical
Corporate
estate.
To
achieve
this,
the
warehouse
was
curved
with
a
smooth,
fluid
line
that
matched
the
headquarters
building’s
aesthetic
appeal
while
ensuring
optimal
functionality.
The
exterior
facade
materials
for
the
office
space
were
a
balanced
mix
of
glass
and
metal
frames,
mirroring
the
headquarters
building’s
design.
On
the
other
hand,
insulated
metal
panels
were
selected
for
the
warehouse
section,
ensuring
optimal
insulation
and
energy
efficiency.
To
increase
the
elegance,
one
side
of
the
warehouse
facing
the
street
was
made
as
a
stunning
glass
wall,
providing
a
clear
view
of
the
surrounding
scenery
while
creating
a
uniform
and
seamless
appearance
with
the
office
building.
