Factory extension in Murcia
documentation p. 60 - 61Architect Clavel Arquitectos |
A part of the new two-storey building is integrated with the existing factory at ground-floor level – the showroom extends across both. In this area a 13m long truss keeps the space column-free. Offices are accommodated on the upper floor, reached via a staircase at the entrance. Another single-flight staircase leads from the upper floor directly into the factory.
The distinctive feature of the new annexe is its translucent facade of U-channel glass. At ground floor level the facade is set back from the front in an irregular, zig-zag line behind an enclosing and shading screen of perforated stainless steel bearing the company name. An interesting play of light ensues through this arrangement, with shifting degrees of transparency and translucency. In daylight the lettering dominates, at night the illuminated interior attracts the attention.
