World’s Most Sustainable Furniture Factory Design Is Once Again Of A Green Building In Norway The Plus

World’s most sustainable furniture factory design is once again of a green building in Norway The Plus. As Norway’s single largest investment in furniture in decades, 6,500m2 open production facility will double as a public 300-acre park. For hiking and camping while serving as a landmark aligned with the region’s mission to establish a green manufacturing industry. As the team states, The Plus will be the first industrial building in the Nordic region to achieve BREAM Outstanding. The highest environmental certification.

Designed to be ‘Paris Agreement-proof’ building, design is based on principles renewable and clean energy to match eco-friendly production. “(Vestre will be the world’s most sustainable furniture manufacturer). Building (The Plus) will be an important step in reaching this goal. By using (cutting-edge technology) and (Scandinavian) collaboration, we can produce faster and greener than ever. In that way we will ensure global competitiveness through our leadership in (environmentally-conscious) production.”  World’s most sustainable furniture factory design is once again of a green building in Norway.

The Plus is located in the village of Magnor. In the geographical midpoint between Vestre’s headquarter in Oslo and the company’s existing steel factory in Torsby, Sweden. The building is conceived as a radial array of four main production halls. The warehouse, the color factory, the wood factory and the assembly – that connect at the center.

Center of The Plus is the logistics office and exhibition center with direct connections to all four production halls. The central hub wraps around a public, circular courtyard where the latest outdoor furniture collections are exhibited with changing seasons. Outdoor plaza allows views for visitors and staff to experience the factory’s production processes in full transparency.

The Plus Will Employ Several Industry 4.0 Solutions

That The Plus will employ several Industry 4.0 solutions. Such as smart robots, self-driving trucks, and a tablet to manage the entire factory. Every machine is assigned one of Vestre’s 200 colors, which spill onto the floors and lead back into central roundabout. This colorful mapping of the machinery creates visual cues, that help guide and explain workflow of the Vestre production facility.

World’s most sustainable furniture factory design is once again of a green building in Norway. Allowing visitors to easily follow the production process as if touring a museum. On all four sides of the buildings, visitors and staff are invited to hike around the facility. And conclude on the green roof terrace, transforming the (furniture factory museum) into a campus in the woods.

On the rooftop, 1,200 photovoltaic panels are placed and angled according to optimal solar efficiency. Excess heat from the panels are connected to an ice-water system for cooling, heat and cold storage tanks. Heat pumps and energy wells as a storage support system. Overall, the system contributes to at least 90% lower energy demand than that of a similar conventional factory. World’s most sustainable furniture factory design is once again of a green building in Norway.

“With Vestre we have imagined a factory that is simultaneously front of house and back of house. The beauty of the factory is the clarity of its organization. Conceived as the intersection of a road and a production line it forms a large plus connecting everything to everything. The radical transparency invites visitors and hikers to enjoy the whole process of manufacturing. While providing the workers the thrill of working in the middle of the forest.”

巴黎 La Fondation 將一座 20 世紀 60 年代停車場重新轉化為融合酒店、康體與文化活動的複合式場所

巴黎 La Fondation 將一座原本只為汽車存在的 60 年代停車場,重新轉化為融合酒店、康體、餐飲與文化活動的複合式公共場所,讓粗獷混凝土結構再次回到城市日常之中。     巴黎 Les Batignolles 街區中的 La Fondation,將 20 世紀 60 年代辦公樓與停車場重新整合,轉化為結合酒店、餐飲、康體與文化活動的複合式場所。PCA-STREAM 保留原有混凝土骨架,讓這座原本服務車流的建築,重新回到城市日常之中。 適應性再利用專案往往傾向保留原有建築外殼,再透過新的材料與立面語彙柔化舊建築的工業感。但位於巴黎的 La Fondation,選擇了另一種方式。PCA-STREAM 並未刻意隱藏停車場原有的粗獷結構,而是保留混凝土框架,重新整理立面、動線與公共空間,讓原本封閉的停車場與商辦建築,轉化為更開放的 mixed-use development。最有趣的是,那些曾經服務車流的空間,如今反而成為人們停留與交流的場所。

位於阿爾齊尼亞諾一座 19 世紀宮殿內,Caffè Nazionale 在當代飯店設計普遍追求視覺刺激的語境中,選擇了一條更安靜的路徑。這間咖啡館根植於記憶、時間與對場所的尊重,設計並未試圖覆寫歷史,而是以減法回應空間。透過修復原始壁畫、馬賽克地板與建築節奏,建築在不喧賓奪主的前提下,悄然放大日常的儀式感,讓過去重新成為生活的一部分。
