What was once an unused rooftop has been transformed into an elevated landscape where business meets nature. Perched nearly 280 feet above Dhaka's bustling commercial district of Gulshan-2, the 30,000-square-foot rooftop business lounge reimagines the conventional workplace by replacing enclosed corporate settings with an open, restorative environment.
The project is conceived as "a business centre within the business centre," where architecture, landscape, and the skyline merge into a seamless experience. Executive offices, meeting rooms, and collaborative spaces are carefully woven into a network of gardens, Zen-inspired pathways, shaded terraces, and open-air gathering areas. At its heart, two distinctive meeting pavilions—one circular and one rectangular—emerge from the landscape as sculptural focal points, reinforcing the dialogue between built form and nature.
More than a functional workspace, the rooftop offers an experience of transition—from the intensity of the city below to the calm of an elevated garden. Framed by uninterrupted 360-degree views of Dhaka, every movement through the space reconnects users with daylight, vegetation, and the ever-changing sky.
By reclaiming an overlooked rooftop as a productive green landscape, the project demonstrates how corporate architecture can foster well-being, collaboration, and environmental awareness. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's belief that architecture should enrich its surroundings, the design transforms the workplace into an urban sanctuary where business and nature coexist above the city.
