Simplicity +

The architecture is intentionally calm and disciplined. A clear three-storey volume delivers a strong civic presence through restraint rather than excess.

This logic supports both identity and performance: robust finishes, efficient massing, and a legible composition that is easy to maintain and adaptable over time.

Connectivity +

Connectivity is both spatial and social. A central glazed atrium forms the heart of the library, linking all floors through light, views, and movement.

At the centre, a sculptural social stair becomes more than circulation, acting as public infrastructure for community life.

Light +

Daylight drives the experience of the building. The atrium draws light deep into the plan, improving comfort, orientation, and atmosphere.

Natural light reinforces calm and wellbeing across reading and learning spaces.

Overall Goal

Key Considerations

In keeping with the overall goal of creating a successful industrial park for the non-energy sector, the Warehouse Structures incorporated some of the following key design considerations:

  • Flexibility to suit different types of potential tenants such as:
    o Light manufacturing
    o Logistics
    o Electronics technology
    o Information technology
    o Energy saving-building ecological building materials
    o Biotechnology
  • Provision of a fully insulated building envelope
  • Use of durable building systems and components
  • Designed to mitigate against flooding of the warehouses
  • Provision of floor drains to all areas with plumbing fixtures/areas requiring washing down as part of maintenance
  • Provisions were made for the differently abled
  • The Warehouses “stood out” from others currently under eTecK’s portfolio through its modern signature design
