IRPC INNOVATION CENTER (IIC)

The Integrated Refinery Petrochemical Complex (IRPC) is a center for petrochemical innovation open to visitors with the aim to promote better understanding of the industry. The full-height glazed building and landscaping has inspiring views of the refinery and surround gardens and ponds.

The Landscape design creates a fluid environment where users meander throughout the site seamlessly, bringing a counterpoint between the building and landscape architecture. The activities’ flow swirls around the selected forms to connect and integrate all functional currents and spaces. The cohesive planning scheme brings in cross-ventilation and water flow to the inner court. All is to create a simple combination of comfort and relaxation in the environment.

The presence of the inner court also draws sufficient daylight to the office space and work place, making the energy consumption scheme more user-friendly and sustainable. The local character of softs-scape and the movement of the curve and form accentuate a dynamic atmosphere, introducing landscape architecture into contemporary working life. The project had envisioned a multidisciplinary collaboration where all design touch points communicates with all stakeholders and users. Therefore, the project has an engaging identity where all users can feel a sense of belonging.
