Excerpt: Indústria | A10 by BOX Arquitectos is an interior design project aimed at transforming an industrial warehouse into social spaces for factories. Designed to resemble transportation containers, the architecture embraces the entire hangar volume. The concept reinforces the idea of piled containers at the pier, preserving the original structural elements while solidifying the memory of an industry.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] A10 is the end result of the adaptation of an industrial warehouse facility into social spaces for the factories. The program is composed of administration areas, offices, medical offices, the lunch hall and resting area, bathrooms with showers rooms included.
The space is characterized by its great amplitude. The program is distributed along the space in a sequential logic from the administrative areas to the social areas for the workers.
The architecture expresses the whole volume of the hangar, with all the spaces being positioned and “deposited” in the space as if they were “transportation containers”, waiting to be shipped.
The concept solidifies the memory of an industry, expressed in the present use of the warehouse. That said, the functional spaces occupy part of the space not reaching the total height. The original structural elements of the warehouse remain intact, reinforcing the idea of the containers piled up at the pier.
