Arrangement of volumes with heavy simple shapes.

A new office and warehouse project in the suburbs. The site faces the roadside, but after the opening of the by-bus, the old bustle of the area is disappearing and the buildings are lined up in a chaotic manner. We wanted to give order to the town by inserting a tight building outline to this surrounding environment. We therefore decided to give the building an outline with two volumes (office and warehouse) measuring approximately 5m x 7.5m, and to cover the space between them with a large roof for cargo handling. Two independent attached warehouses are located to the rear.
The project strongly emphasises the power of simple form and weight.
