Type
SIZE
500,000 sqft - 1,000,000 sqft
The Lensvelt complex is designed for a
furniture factory and its offices. It is located in a flat landscape facing a
network of roads. The architecture responds to this stark, horizontal landscape
with an equally taut volume that echoes the lines and flatness of its setting.
Unlike most industrial architecture that tends to produce opaque containers,
the Lensvelt complex develops a facade which, when lit from inside, becomes a
screen offering a blurred view of its interior, a ghostly perception for those
in passing vehicles who catch a brief glimpse of it. This spectacular effect is
achieved through a facade built with translucent glass strips.The landscape office West 8 was invited to
collaborate in the entrance and interior gardens. Their work included the mound
of jagged slates located in the interior courtyard, which is paved with wooden
decking and includes a group of gingko trees. The landscaping project also
includes a pair of to give-shaped mounds and depressions in the parking area.The complex that houses the offices and
the factory is a longitudinal structure that has a north-south orientation.
Protruding out from each side of this rectangular volume is a box-shaped
structure that hovers above the ground. The eastern protruding box hangs 2.5 m
high above a large entrance for pedestrians, whereas the western box, which
floats slightly above the ground, serves as the main entrance into the interior
of the building and contains the lobby overlooking the highway. The eastern
facade of the building is incised with rectangular openings that serve as
entrances for vehicles.
