Realized for Broekman Logistics in Venlo (NL), this state-of-the-art
warehouse offers storage for both hazardous and non-hazardous goods under one
roof, including all logistic and assembly activities. The campus is multimodal
with efficient links to the highway, inland ports and rail terminals. The
warehouse adheres to the strictest ADR safety and environmental laws, and is
both PGS-15 and PGS-8 certified. Specific for this type of warehouse are CO2
fire suppression, maximum floor loads up to 12.000 kg/m², and fire walls
compliant with the various hazardous goods classes (2, 3, 4.1, 4.2.,
4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 6.1, 8, 9).
The
architectural design is straightforward. The warehouse is composition of
various concrete bunkers. The office is low-key and incorporated into the
warehouse volume. On the exterior, however, the design transforms the typical industrial
box into a more fluid architectural gesture by accentuating the entrances, and
breaking the façade through a series of ‘tectonic’ shifts.
