The three-storey building is highly visible, connecting the architecture to the surrounding urban context. The design features a transparent façade that allows for a flood of natural sunlight into the inside, while giving staff and visitors visual access to the outside. This establishes a new identity for logistics facilities that puts people at the centre.
The reception is a double volume space separated by visually permeable glazing. The central void gives visual openness, and the suspended mesh ceiling provides a warm ambience. The layout of the workspaces mimics a town plan. Traditional barriers and partitions were torn down to create pockets of space. Users can walk along ‘alleys and streets’ to these public domains for meetings and discussions. Pantries, dining and breakout spaces emulate the design of local coffee shops, marketplaces and recreational centres with a mix of lights, colours, forms and aromas.
