Latitude Studio’s entry for the World Health Organization’s (WHO) design competition to expand its Geneva headquarters seeks to embody WHO’s sustainable and collaborative approach to enhancing universal health. Their design consolidates individual offices and open workspaces within one facility, maximizing areas for collaboration and communication, while solar panels and rainwater collection systems improve the building’s sustainability.

The design comprises six floors and 14,000 square-meters of office space (both shared and individual). In addition to the flexibility created by the S-layout, the offices also incorporate movable vertical surfaces that can double as open areas when necessary.
