Bitwise公司總部位於泰國的北欖府（Samutprakarn），由建築事務所ASWA設計。在建築幾何造型的設計過程中，建築師充分考慮了項目的預期目標與場地的固有限制，力求在實現這二者之間的平衡的同時呈現出一種新穎的外觀效果。
ASWA search for the balance between the project’s objectives and limitations into the creation of the innovative looking geometry for Bitwise Headquarters, in Samutprakarn, Thailand.

Bitwise公司是一家歷史悠久的空調製造商，擁有豐富的專業經驗，在泰國的空調製造行業中享負盛名。因此設計團隊便以該公司的組織形象和品牌理念為切入點進行設計。然而由於法規的硬性要求，所有的環境設計和功能空間設計都必須在一個26m x 28m的場地內進行，故而建築師決定將建築體量分為兩部分。第一部分由一二層空間構成。該部分被挖去了四分之一的面積以形成一個入口廣場，方便了來訪者的上下車。一層的剩餘部分容納著接待區和一系列會議室，二層的剩餘部分則分佈著一個展覽空間、一個小會議室和一個大型的會議討論區。第二部分由三四層空間構成。這兩層空間被用作公司的辦公空間，在26m x 28m的場地上方完全鋪開，在使用面積上遠大於第一部分。此外，受限於場地紅線的要求，建築體量在四層局部後退，從而形成了最終極具創新性的外觀造型。

Bitwise is a manufacturer of air conditioners whose long track record and experience in the industry in Thailand. Their Headquarters design was realized from the conceptual organization’s image and identity. The concept of rethinking “Innovation” applied to the form of the building. All the context, criteria, and functions needed to fit within the limitation of the buildable area due to regulation, 26×28 m2 space which can be separated into two sections. The first section –the first and second floor- was scooped out a one-quarter of the space for the main approach, drop-off, and entrance area. The remaining space of the first floor is a reception area and meeting rooms then, it has been turned in to an exhibition space, meeting room, and a large conference area on the second floor. The second section – the third and fourth floors – serves as the company’s office space, which takes a whole limitation area of 26×28 m2 and physically bigger than the public space in the first section of the building. The fourth floor also has a limitation of the setback regulation to form the shape of the building.

在建築的結構上，為了適應功能需求和公司的品牌形象，設計團隊沒有選擇傳統的柱網結構，而是採用了懸挑和桁架結構。建築體量在三四層空間處向外懸挑14米，在鋼桁架的支撐下“懸浮”在首層入口廣場的上方。
For an architectural structure, the conventional column structure was eliminated to create a form that could correspond not only to the required functionality but also the company’s approach toward image branding for Bitwise Headquarters. For the space of almost a 1,500 m2 capacity on the third and fourth floor to be able to cantilever 14 meters from the main structure and overhang above the drop-off area by using steel truss.

此外，桁架結構也出現在三層的室內空間中。設計團隊參考桁架的三角形形狀來進行外立面圖案的設計。總部大樓的南立面和西立面採用鋁製的百葉窗，不僅在形式上呼應了空調的通風片，更滿足了雙層表皮的要求。更為重要的是，這種百葉窗還能起到過濾陽光、投射光影和保護隱私的作用。

The truss structure also appears within the interior space of the third floor, these triangulated geometric patterns from the structure were selected for the facade cladding pattern of the building’s exterior shell. The double-layered exterior shell for the south and west facade is the solution for such requirements with aluminum louvers whose forms are similar to those of ventilation fins of an air conditioner. The louvers welcome in the presence of natural light and outside surroundings.

Bitwise公司總部是一個創新性的實驗項目。它將建築、工程、構造和施工與功能空間的概念設計和項目開發融合在了一起，將業主真實的品牌形象淋漓盡致地體現了出來。
Bitwise Headquarters is an innovative experiment where architecture, engineering, and construction become parts of the conceptualization and development process in which a building’s physicality and functionality are conceived, not only to represent but also innately from the owner’s true identity.
