Franke
Smyrna, TN, United States
As FRANKE continually seeks and delivers innovations in both
technology and services, it was the design team’s commitment to reflect their
vision, product line and unique European lineage with innovative design
solutions. This was achieved through the use of simple forms and lines
throughout the building, a strict module and rhythm, and the use of durable
materials to reflect FRANKE’s dedication to an uncompromising quality.
On the exterior of the building, an insulated aluminum panel
system was employed, adhering to this strict module and rhythm. This is
further reflected, not only in the building’s curtain wall glazing system, but
also the wood volumes which are used as building punctuation and warming
elements. A large expanse of corrugated metal was utilized at the office
building to create an organizational spine and serve as a mechanical screen. This
organizing element expresses a hierarchy of spaces as they relate to the time
line of manufacture, from Product Development at the front of the building,
through Product Testing at the building’s midpoint and terminating with
distribution at the Distribution Center. Tilt-up concrete was used in the Tech
Center for cost savings strategies and as a means to relate the Office and Distribution
masses since the entire Distribution Center is tilt-up concrete. The design
team worked together with FRANKE to include several owner provided products and
materials, such as stainless steel panels for wall protection in their Tech Center,
and coffee makers, espresso makers and kitchen equipment in their employee
café.
