German Architects Transform a Production Plant with a Metal Panel Façade

1. German Architects Transform a Production Plant with a Metal Panel Façade Whether it is a new building or one which needs a revamp, a metal panel façade from Action is sure to meet your needs for your home or workplace. You can select the metal of your choice in your desired thickness, finish and colour. We can even bend the panels or add flashings if you would like a more artistic exterior. Metal panel facades are ideal for our uncertain Gold Coast weather conditions as if panels are in need of repair after a storm, only single panels rather than the whole façade may need to be replaced. A top notch example of a metal panel façade that has been brought to our attention is that of the production plant of Auma, a company which specialises in the development and building of electric actuators and gearboxes. Reasoning that the original premises did not offer the business sufficient opportunity to expand, the organisation decided to purchase a neighbouring plot of land and construct a new manufacturing space in addition to redeveloping the existing site. To enable the factory to continue operations uninterrupted, the project was carried out over a number of years. Stage one of the process began in 2009 and involved the construction of a production hall and loading bay. After relocating to the new site in January 2011, the previously existing building was redeveloped, upgrading of the firm’s technology. The exterior of the design is characterised by a gently reclining black façade enveloping the plant’s

Internally, the large production area at ground level is surrounded by new offices and brightly lit conference rooms, while an upper storey houses a canteen and changing rooms for the company’s employees.
