This industrial warehouse for textile storage is conceived as an architectural solution that is efficient, precise, and honest. The simple gabled volume is constructed with a translucent metal envelope that allows soft daylight to permeate the interior, minimizing the need for artificial lighting. A reinforced concrete base ensures stability and durability, while modular industrial shelving—painted in a vibrant orange hue—adds rhythm and scale to the space. The unadorned facade clearly communicates the building’s structural and functional logic. This project shows how industrial architecture can balance economy of means, structural clarity, and a dignified presence within the landscape.
