The Industrial Building in Viana do Castelo project consists of a new industrial unit in Lanheses, Viana do Castelo, and is made up of two apparently autonomous volumes with different heights. The first volume - a large industrial/warehousing/technical area with a canopy protecting the shipping area. The second volume - a social and administrative area, comprising 2 floors above the ground level and drawing the main elevation of the building. Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The proposal focuses on the main social and administrative block, opting for an architectural language that gives unity and continuity to the whole. The research focused on the skin of the main elevation, based on the search for a single cladding material (prefabricated concrete panel), which adapts to and standardizes all the project's situations and needs. The main elevation is designed by repeating vertical slats in a prefabricated concrete panel, based on a matrix that defines the solution. The rule imposes itself and makes up the main language of the complex. Due to the large development of the main elevation, there are several outdoor patios that strategically excavate and deconstruct the volume. This game of full/empty creates greater flexibility and variety in the play of light inside the building.Save this picture!Save this picture!The main entrance to the building is made up of the design of thefoyerwith double-height ceilings and a suspended staircase, which is the main element of this space. The staircase is detached from the walls and slab and is joined by a loose concrete volume that rises from the floor and forms the first three steps of the staircase. The two volumes do not touch, creating a moment of tension between them.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Lanheses, PortugalLocation to be used only as a reference.
