HDF Factory

A site-sensitive layout

The building is oriented North-South, parallel to the neighboring factory buildings and in line with the landscaped master plan of the city of Blanquefort. It is thus coherently integrated into the area's development scheme and the existing urban fabric.

A structured and scalable building

The project offers a simple, functional, and flexible framework that helps rationalize the building’s structure and the layout of workstations. To promote spatial modularity, long-span structures were chosen for both the factory and the office areas.

The shed-shaped roofs emphasize the industrial character of the building while providing exceptional spatial and lighting quality in the production area. They ensure optimal working conditions at all workstations by reducing the need for artificial lighting and, consequently, energy consumption.

The through-office space is illuminated via the peripheral façades to the East, North, and West, as well as by a central atrium that encourages informal interaction and communication among employees.

On the top floor, a dining area opening onto a terrace is provided for staff. All windows are equipped with adjustable external sunshades, allowing users to regulate brightness and solar gain according to the weather, seasons, time of day, and personal preferences.
