背景。Novopan公司是该国最大的三聚氰胺板行业。该委托源于为其最近扩建的工厂开发一个新的行政空间和服务项目的需要。客户在现有工业厂房的场地上为有关项目指定了一个旧停车场。一块平坦的土地，面积不大，这意味着要开发一个至少有五层的建筑，以汇集所需的大量项目。到达现场后，我们发现了一个机会，在现有工厂旁边发现了一个细长的不规则形状的堤坝，这将使我们能够在只有两层的地方开发同样的项目。
Context: Novopan is the largest melamine board industry in the country. The commission stems from the need to develop a project for new administrative spaces and services for its recently expanded plant. The client had designated an old parking lot on the site of the existing industrial plant for the project in question. A flat piece of land with a small area, which meant developing a building with at least five floors to bring together the extensive required program. Arriving at the site, we identified an opportunity by finding an elongated and irregularly shaped embankment next to the existing factory, which would allow us to develop the same project on only two floors.
首先，通过将新项目与工厂连接起来，实现了更好的关系，以及对操作的控制，更重要的是，有可能将劳动力与行政部分联系起来，并使其更接近。其次，通过将建筑植入斜坡，我们设法使新的办公室成为公司面向城市的面孔，减少工业仓库的强烈存在，并产生一个新的、更人性化和友好的规模。最后，我们利用办公楼和工厂之间的 “剩余 “空间，插入了支持和服务区。
First, by joining the new project to the factory, a better relationship, and control over the operation is achieved, and more importantly, the possibility of connecting and bringing the workforce closer to the administrative part. Second, by implanting the building on the slope, we managed to make the new offices the face of the company towards the city, reducing the strong presence of industrial warehouses and generating a new, more humane, and friendly scale. And finally, we take advantage of the “residual” spaces between the office building and the factory by inserting support and service areas.
干预措施。主体建筑坐落在一个弯曲的斜坡上，适应其自然形状，并与毗邻的高速公路的蜿蜒性相呼应。办公室位于地面上，呈 “蛇形”，实现了水平操作，使公司不同部门之间的沟通更加方便和紧密。这个想法通过一个中央中庭得到了加强，该中庭将两层楼整合在一起，是建筑中最大的物理和视觉交流的地方。它不仅是项目的核心，也是组织社会活动的场所（研讨会、报告会、协同工作和社会活动），最重要的是，它能激励用户联系、会面和分享。
The Intervention: The main building sits on a curved slope, adapting to its natural shape and generating a reference to the sinuosity of the adjoining highway. The offices are located on the ground level in a “snake shape” achieving a horizontal operation that allows and motivates easy communication and closeness between the different divisions of the company. This idea is reinforced with a central atrium, which integrates the two floors and is where the greatest physical and visual communication of the building exists. Conceived not only as the heart of the project but where the organization’s social activities take place (workshops, presentations, coworking, and social events) and above all motivating users to connect, meet and share.
结构和物质性。该项目寻求一种有序的、灵活的、清晰的结构和构造逻辑。该工厂只有两条等距的轴线，定义并构成了空间方案。结构是由后张板、桁架梁和悬臂组成的，在空间中产生轻盈、动态和感性。在内部，混凝土的骨架是可见的，它定义了空间，没有化妆或附加物，只用工厂本身生产的细节和家具来补充。
Structure and Materiality: The project seeks an orderly, flexible and clear structural and constructive logic. The plant has only two equidistant axes that define and make up the spatial proposal. The structure is made up of post-tensioned slabs, gusset beams, and cantilevers that generate lightness, dynamism, and sensuality in the space. Inside, the concrete skeleton is visible, defining the space without make-up or additions and being complemented only with details and furniture manufactured in the plant itself.
可持续性。首先，拉长的坡度使我们能够拥有一个狭窄而浅的建筑，最大限度地增加照明和自然通风，并大大减少能源消耗需求。实施的悬臂式混凝土板和垂直三聚氰胺板条系统作为 “遮阳板 “保护空间免受午后强烈阳光的影响。双层高的中庭起到了烟囱的作用，通过上部天窗的开口垂直通风，自然吸入空气，也照亮了中央空间。
Sustainability: First, the elongated slope allows us to have a narrow and shallow building, maximizing lighting and natural ventilation and considerably reducing energy consumption needs. The implemented system of cantilevered concrete slabs and vertical melamine slats as a “sun breaker” protect the spaces from the intense afternoon sun. The double-height atrium works as a chimney effect, vertically ventilating the natural intake air through openings in the upper skylights that also illuminate the central space.
