this project presents a building for the production and administration of a manufacturer of ventilation systems in the passive-house sector.
part of the design challenge lies in addressing the site’s exceptional location along the busiest motorway in the netherlands.
administrative staff and production employees work together in a single building under one shared roof, with the overall form taking precedence over individual elements. the design prioritizes optimal access to glare-free daylight. south-facing areas of the sheds are equipped with photovoltaic elements from the company’s own production.
the building also functions as a logo: its strong yet simple form remains clearly recognizable even when viewed at high speed from the freeway.
