下载所需积分: 2
由海姆·巴尔普建筑事务所 “Heim Balp Architekten” 设计的ASTORIA MCE新工业厂房及东欧市场总部，坐落于罗马尼亚蒂米什瓦拉。作为意大利咖啡机文化代表品牌Astoria “全球第三大专业咖啡机制造商” 的两大核心生产基地之一，该综合体标志着MCE公司 “Astoria集团全资子公司” 自2002年进驻当地以来的产能升级。
设计团队在保留原有建筑结构的基础上，通过关键性改造实现了客户核心诉求：提升日产量并塑造更年轻进取的企业形象。新建部分包含生产线、物流区、行政商务办公、培训区域及展厅，原有建筑则改造为员工更衣室、餐厅及技术空间。
新厂房由两个体块构成：7米高的单层生产车间与双层办公综合体。主入口通挑高大厅，接待台与展厅构成迎宾序列，上层办公区可俯瞰中庭景观。"这座办公综合体既要展现企业对客户的品牌价值，又需满足行政管理的高效需求。"建筑师解释道。4000平方米的生产区使日产量提升至100台咖啡机，其"准时化生产"模式实现零库存管理。
外立面设计成为工业区新地标的关键策略：红色铝板幕墙与玻璃幕墙的虚实组合，配合不同密度的遮阳系统，形成层次分明的视觉效果。底层生产区采用封闭实墙，展厅则以全玻璃幕墙展示企业传统；上层半透明遮阳系统兼具通风功能。
室内选用本质材料凸显建筑轻盈感：木饰面温暖公共区域，玻璃隔断划分办公空间，混凝土薄层地面与裸露的机电管线强化工业美学，天蓝色办公家具在灰白基调中跳跃点缀。项目同时优化了场地物流动线及装卸区域。
Heim Balp Architekten has designed the new ASTORIA MCE industrial plant and company headquarters for the eastern markets in Timisoara, Romania.
The complex is one of the two main sites for the production of professional coffee machines for Astoria, the historical brand of the italian coffe machine culture, and the world's third professional coffee machines manufacturer for production amount.
The MCE company, that belongs entirely to the Astoria Group, began its manufacturing activities in Timisoara at the end of 2002. With the construction of the new plant the production has strongly increased its production capacity.
The design by Heim Balp Architekten meets the main client’s request for a new layout, so as to increase the daily production and provide a younger and more progressive attitude to the whole company image.
Instead of moving and building a new facility, the original structure was kept but important interventions were implemented to improve its functionality and to renew workspaces, showroom and offices.
The building program includes a new production line, logistics, new administrative and commercial offices as well as training areas and showrooms. The existing structures have been transformed and dedicated to dressing rooms and canteen for the personnel as well as to technical spaces.
The new MCE plant is conceived in two volumes: a seven-metre-high one-storey building hosting the production area and a two level building hosting offices, meeting rooms, a showroom and training spaces.
The main public entrance gives access to a double height space where visitors are welcomed by the reception counter and the showroom ; offices and meeting rooms can be found on the upper floor, overlooking the large ground floor atrium.
“The office and public building on one side expresses the needs for representation of the company, being this location the expression of its products and values towards the clients and distributors,and on the other side meets the needs of efficiency and dynamism of its administrative department”. as the architects say.
The production area covers a 4000 sqm surface, so as to increase the daily production up to 100 coffee machines per day.
“The production process and its new design follows the idea of the just in time cycle as far as the processing of the components that are required for the production line, where the necessary materials are shipped in when needed as the products are shipped out as soon as they are completed thus reducing to the maximum the needs for storage. “ Pietro Balp
One of the key interventions has been the design of the facades, where the selection of materials defines a discontinuous combination of walls and glazed façades, as well as a red aluminum cladding, providing different levels of opacity to the whole volume.
“ We aimed to transform the building into a new significant landmark for Timisoara, visible from surrounding landscape and from the highway as well, in an industrial context lacking of visual references.” the architects explain.
The two buildings are visually connected and unified by the red metal cladding, changing in density according to the different building functions.
At the ground level, the production area features a dense blind facade, while the showroom offers a public view on the company’s tradition thanks to the transparent glazed facade.
The sun shading system gives the upper floor a semitransparent character and helps the natural ventilation of the building.
An essential materials palette has been selected for the interiors, contributing to remark the lightness and transparency of the architecture : wood paneling to add warmth in representative spaces, glazed partitioning for the offices, a concrete micro topping for the floors.
All mechanical ducts and pipes are left exposed, thus emphasizing the overall industrial aesthetic, while light blue colorful accents are introduced in the offices furniture, contrasting the grey and white backdrop.
The project also foresees an overall reorganization of the site, as well as of the loading and unloading area and space for vehicles, improving the logistical operations.
