Design Based on Client Requests
Exterior:
● Since the building faces the main street, we designed it so that the roof is not visible from the road.
● The exterior walls are designed with a balanced use of two colors of Galvalume steel sheets.
● Vertical windows are designed for both aesthetics and natural lighting.
● The warehouse name is displayed with stainless steel box letters.
● Overall, the design is simple and stylish.
Interior:
1st Floor Warehouse:
● The ceiling height is 3.5 meters, providing ample storage space.● The stairs to the second floor have blue and red accents.
2nd Floor:
● The staircase area features OSB (Oriented Strand Board) panels, which are durable and aesthetically pleasing.● Clear coating on the OSB panels enhances resistance to dirt.
● The floor is designed to look like cracked mortar, and the doors have a dark wood grain finish, creating a simple and stylish look.
● Like the stairs, OSB panels are used as accents on the walls.
● A DIY corner is included in the accent wall where tenants can freely use nails and screws.
Foundation:
● Swedish Sounding Test and boring survey (Standard Penetration Test) were conducted.● Based on the results, surface improvement was performed.
