Text description presented by the architects. Inside a plastic processing plant, a area after supposed only to accommodate industrial elements was redefined to be versatile and multi-purposeful: a snug area wherever workers can relaxation in the course of the occupied workday and a dedicated showroom for purchasers and visitors.
The task presents a reinterpretation of the key floor of a mezzanine positioned in an 800 sqm plastic processing manufacturing facility and recognized by an industrial composition going through rigid metal frames. A minuscule 19 sqm setting is capable to disconnect users from the powerful sounds of equipment and the cold complex lighting of the manufacturing facility and reconnect with themself through a hotter devoted area.
The thought was focused at highlighting plastic’s enduring characteristics, transparency, aesthetical high-quality, operation as effectively as recyclability while executing in blend with “softer” all-natural tones and committed lights.
The metallic natural environment framework of the mezzanine is painted in a shiny protection color coding and a wider illumination of the home is maintained by adopting a transparent cladding of extra clear methacrylate partition panels which offers not only a immediate visual relationship with the exterior but also reflects the organic mild coming from the warehouse’s sheds.
Customized-built home furnishings in low-expense pine plywood, as nicely as veneered wooden, was suitable for changing the previously warehouse place into a calming space, blending hotter textures and designs with the current rigid factory skeleton.
As increasing from the flooring, which maintains a resin end like the relaxation of the factory, wood paneling surrounds the room’s perimeter, hiding cabinets, and an air ventilation technique. At the very same time, all the kitchenette facilities are concealed inside of customized cupboards built underneath the mezzanine’s staircase that includes a triangular void meant as a little exhibition screen room.
Above the 90cm high closets, a created-in backlight linear LED procedure transforms the shelving into a showcase region for technical inspections of plastic products by shoppers and profits reps. A new pine plywood table put in a diagonal line in the heart of the room speaks to the feeling of community, inviting staff to take in, meet and socialize via its sinuous and massive proportion, and it can be applied for official or informal meetings.
The conversion of a dark, residual room into a new, calming hub is reached through a gentle-filled, sound-managed environment and new textures. The use of the area is prolonged it can be adapted to assorted capabilities all over the day, advertising and marketing a innovative tradition focusing on a selection of buyers.
