Mukkoshqut Construction Co., Zaxar's premier construction company based out of Malinsk, ZX, would be honored to design such an important facility for the government of the proud nation of Ahrana. The vision of our top-notch architects is one of a modern and yet also natural design. A design that can both be one with nature and yet simultaneously control it. To meet this vision, we have designed neo-futurist plan, a circular compound structure with a modern exterior and serene park concealing the rebar concrete fortified lower chambers.

The exterior walls of the compound would house general staff and most functioning activities of the facility as well as being the public eye of the building. However, the main focus of this project would be the internal compound which would be located underneath the central courtyard and reenforced with a second layer of rebar concrete. These internal facilities would house the most important personnel and material and would be able to withstand extensive and repeated shelling from modern artillery. Similarly, the lower levels would have large and easily defendable stairways  as well as an extensive and expandable tunnel system connecting it to important facilities and amenities throughout the city. The lower levels would be expandable with minimal effort and further surveying will be done on the site to determine the maximum floor number of the structure. The design is also compatible with metro systems should it ever be in the interest of the client to connect the lower levels to public transport.

This building will also be nearly totally self-reliant and eco-friendly! As a Zaxari company specializing in green design, we take pride in making our buildings as self-sustaining as possible and we have done our best to make this building no different. With the exterior roof fully coated with a layer of the latest solar technology and hundreds of Zaxari-made lithium ion grade high capacity batteries to make sure that the building could power itself for up to 3 weeks on solar energy even without sunlight. The building will also be equipped with natural gas generators due to the vital nature of its functioning and the expected high energy requirements of facilities. The enclosed courtyard of the compound will act as a quiet retreat for staff and nature alike and will be stocked with native and drought resistant flora to maximize the serene natural effect while minimizing the maintenance and upkeep of the park. The outer building also lack the need for air coolant systems due to the naturally ventilated design of the exterior walls though units for cooling and heat will be installed for the lower levels with heating being supplied to the exterior buildings.

• Picture of Plan of the Building proposed: 

 

• Cost of the building: The total cost of this building is estimated at 1.5-2 billion wampum marks (1.5-2 B USD) and includes electric, plumbing, and air conditioning systems.

 

• List of Materials to be used in the building: Concrete, rebar steel, custom glass paneling, general purpose steel, aluminum, assorted lesser materials.

 

• The number of Workers needed for the project: 4,000-5,000 total workers are estimated to be required for this project. This would include ~110 Zaxari specialists from our company and the rest of the employees would be recruited from domestic Ahranan companies who would be subcontracted into the project.

 

• Total Size of the Building: The circular structure is ~400 ft in diameter (~122 m) leading to an estimated 502,655 X [# of floors] ft^2
  • The # of floors on both the exterior and interior can vary depending on the needs of the ministry.
