Challenged with a highly innovative plant,
combining scientific research and modern production of concrete on an
international standard, we have been asking ourselves to not only provide all
tasks, but to add something special that makes this project shine out the
typical factories.
The company Xin Ao is a multifaceted enterprise
providing all kind of goods and services. A lot of their goals are satisfying our primary
needs and to provide support in the daily tasks we all encounter. It is as a
perfect link to the subject concrete, providing us with the necessities of our
infrastructure. This ranges from bridges to houses to simple furniture. We took
this liaison of common goals to give the whole project a simple and for
everyone coherent face, a ordinary house.

At the beginning of our design strategy we
followed the terms of the workflow-diagram to get the minimal requirements of the ceilings, the
distances between the working steps and the necessary enclosed areas. Later on
we added the most basic geometry of a house to design the roofs following the
ascending ceiling height of the factory halls. With enough space we can provide
better ventilation, through the wall we naturally lit the construction areas.
Simultaneous it is shielded from outside via the
semiopaque u-profile glass. Thanks to the closed surface we get a high
ecological standard and are able to aid ecological solutions for every working
step. The client did the request to design a green,
modern and ecological plant site to fit to the international standards of both,
research facilities and eco-friendly factory-sites. Through a park we divide
the production area from the more public grounds and flock some more green
areas near the concrete plant to gather the dust from the tender areas and the
processing of the ready-mix trucks. The rest of the compound was designed in the same
architectural language to give the spectators from every angle the illusion to
stand in front of a group of wildly scaled houses.
