Project Background
The CAT headquarters must embody its mission, serving as a functional tool while expressing the originality of its purpose. It could not be designed as a conventional office block composed of stacked floors with arbitrary openings and a generic faade treatment. The CAT headquarters was conceived to symbolize modernity, innovation, and order, as the showcase of all insurers on Togolese territory.
Exterior Renderings
a distinctive, functional, remarkable, and adaptable building, capable of evolving with future needs.The site and program constraints (with a CES exceeding 60%) dictated a volumetry derived from a square-based prism that appears to float or lift off the ground. The prism is extruded and carved into angular forms with sharp edges, resembling a cut stone, while retaining its original geometric suggestion. It symbolizes a permanent evolution toward perfection without losing identity.
Floor Plan
How better to embody the spirit of insurance than through the attributes of protection, serenity, strength, and respect? This idea is expressed in the CAT headquarters through large trapezoidal and timber-clad acroteria resulting from the extrusion of the initial volume. Together with the building’s corners and base, they frame recessed display facades.
Elevation Plan
These glazed areas primarily host commercial and rental functions, while inviting appropriation, discovery, and a sense of openness and prospecting for the companies housed within.
Section Plan
South-facing volumetric cutouts allow massive inflows of fresh air that circulate around the building thanks to its setback from the neighboring lot, creating a permanent air mass that penetrates the building whenever windows or the large internal circulation—opening to the east faade—are activated.The main architectural challenge was to design a welcoming and service-oriented image for the CAT entrance while the boulevard-facing faade (Boulevard du Haho) is dedicated to large rental spaces.
Architectural Rendering-Canopy
Additionally, creating a dignified hall at the end of the secondary street, where parking is located, posed another challenge. Our solution emphasizes the hall entrance through a green wall on the neighboring boundary, drawing visual attention from the hall and creating a unique reception space.
Architectural Rendering-Main Gate
From the outset, the project embraced simple, efficient, and pragmatic eco-design principles: Maintain a dense, compact volume with limited faade recesses to reduce heat loss and favor passive performance. Ensure cross-ventilation to dissipate heat. Encourage social interaction around atriums, fostering encounters, dialogue, and synergies. Eco-design must also mean eco-construction.
Architectural Rendering-Parking Entrance
In order to adapt to the promoter’s budgetary constraints, the project was conceived in two stages: Phase 1 delivers a solid base (G+2) with income-generating retail spaces and a dedicated private entrance for CAT, while Phase 2 adds a striking G+7 extension for CAT’s administrative headquarters. This phased approach guarantees architectural consistency and uninterrupted commercial operations.
