A factory visible from the motorway becomes part of the landscape. A rational production volume is wrapped in a perforated metal veil that changes with the light, while shared U-glass spaces emerge as translucent lanterns.

Productive infrastructure.
A recognisable identity.

The architecture begins with a simple, efficient and adaptable structure. The outer veil uses uniformly microperforated panels, curved inward to three modular radii. The controlled variation of the concavities creates different shadows along the elevation and turns industrial repetition into a recognisable identity.
