Yankon is a global
Chinese manufacturer of LED lighting. Energetic Lighting is Yankon’s first
venture into the European market. The logistics headquarters realized in
Kontich (BE) comprises a warehouse, offices and showroom. The building is
situated five minutes from the E19 highway, at the edge of an industrial park
that borders on a residential cluster. The architecture is intended to reflect
the ‘lightness’ of the corporate branding and is achieved through the
application of white industrial concrete in combination with a curtain wall
façade gradient of transparent and semi-transparent glazing. From rear to
front, the solemn industrial monolith transitions into an rhythmically composed
curtain wall. The glazed volume jumps above as it winds around to the front
facade, creating a recessed covered loading dock at ground level and a floating
showroom overhead.
