Preliminary design of an industrial warehouse – Sulbiate (MB)

The project provides for the construction, In an area with landscape constraint, of a new shed for a leading company in your production sector. The buildings of the plant have grown over time following the evolution of the market and production. Recent developments in the production cycle, located in different parts of the factory, have highlighted the need for a greater area available for the storage and processing of semi-finished products, raw material of the industrial activity. Starting from the conformation of the plant and the physical context of proximity, from the workflows and their optimization, the construction of a new shed is planned, of about 1000 sq.m., upstream of the production cycle. Given the contemporary types of storage and loading-unloading of goods, which take place indoors through electric elevators, a new maneuvering area is envisaged for incoming trucks in order to disengage the municipal road from dangerous inversions and rationalize internal driveways. The foundation of the new building is aligned with the other buildings, in visual connection with the recent office building and delimiting a new path between the pavilions of the factory, surrounded by the countryside of Sulbiate. Near the foundation sedime there is a roggia that laps the plant, surrounded by an area of ​​uncultivated land and a rural path. Given these constraints, the project includes a significant shape of silhouette near the Roggia, trapezoidal shape, to relate morphologically with the landscape context. The height of the building is modified through the formation of an inclined aquifer roof, lower in the direction of the canal. From the outside, at head height you will have the perception of a smaller volume than in reality, from inside, natural light and a view of the countryside will illuminate the laboratory, mitigating electricity consumption and regulating workers' circadian rhythm. From a structural point of view, the building is planned in prefabricated "omega" beams, prefabricated pillars with plinth foundations, concrete floor, vertical partitions in prefabricated concrete panels. The walkable coverage involves the installation of a large photovoltaic system, directed and inclined to the south. A perimeter crowning is expected to be a projecting veil in C.A. with a sport of approx 1.5 m, To protect the underlying walls from climatic agents. For further protection of the external perimeter walls, with the shading function of the laboratory during the representative summer of the ecological transition of the industrial brand, a superstructure in strips of wood conglomerate is foreseen, useful for screening systems. The ventilated facade open to the outside is expected to be inclined, finding a form of mediation with the surrounding area, the horizon of the agricultural countryside of Sulbiate.
