Our client sought an industrial building with a drive through drop- off area, equip with different bins for different material types. We also had to consider broken and unused equipment and items to be dropped off.
To complete the design, we used a steel structure with concrete tilt-up panels for the walls and a well-insulated metal sheeting roof. We also included transparent panels that would allow natural light and a stepped roof which allowed high-level ventilation louvers.

PREP FACILITY
The client requested a two classroom prep facility for pre-school children with central service such as kitchen and art room spaces. Outside, we provided spaces that includes play equipment and sand pits under a sail roofed areas. The roofed sails were modelled and placed in such a way to provide maximum protection from the sun during play times.
The building is a very simple and functional form that became an asset for the school to accommodate pre-school kids. The design support spaces flowing from the inside of the two large classrooms to the outside play area, while sharing the functional central spaces.
Although the outside space is fenced and separated from the remainder of the school, it is visually well connected with the rest of the school. Courtesy of Elevation Architecture Studio
