Quanda 02 - Industrial
Tasked with creating a purpose-built boat building facility, our mission was clear: maximize the building footprint while accommodating the maneuvering needs of large 100ft catamarans. Embracing the challenge, we seamlessly integrated a variety of materials to achieve both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. Timber feature columns evoke a sense of warmth and craftsmanship, while weatherboard cladding adds a touch of maritime charm. Raw concrete elements ground the structure in modernity, complemented by expansive glass openings that invite natural light to flood the interior spaces.
Beyond mere functionality, our design ethos prioritized the creation of a welcoming and uplifting environment. Street presence was carefully considered, ensuring that the building stands as a beacon in its urban context. Skylights dot the roofline, infusing the interior with sunlight and fostering a connection to the outdoors. Meanwhile, large roller doors facilitate cross-flow ventilation, enhancing the comfort and well-being of those within.
At its core, this building embodies clean architectural lines and functionality. Every aspect of its design is purposeful, from the strategic placement of windows to the thoughtful selection of materials. As a result, this boat-building facility not only meets the practical needs of its occupants but also serves as a symbol of our commitment to crafts function that enriches the occupant’s experience.
