Industrial facility “SAVACOOP“ 2019
designer — arh. uros jankovic & arh. dragan stetin
Complex visual facility design.
The starting point for its design was the investor’s goal of forming a representative logistical centre with the latest technical amenities that will fittingly follow the development of the company. The building itself is positioned so as to maximize the use of the shape of the parcel it stands on for the entry and exit of goods. The front of Industrijska Street and the corner that the parcel faces are planned for future administrative buildings and decorative green areas.
Visually, the warehouse and distribution facility consists of a grey base zone of loading docks and entrances, topped by a massive layer in a combination of anthracite and corporate green.
Along the north side of the building this layer is penetrated by a dominant glass cube, overlooking the entrance and docks.There is a glass strip on the corner that breaks up the large mass of this element, making the interior space of the canteen and changing room airy and pleasant.
The façade is further elaborated with discrete linear elements hiding the decorative lighting, at the same time creating a curved line that evokes the leaf-shaped logo of Savacoop.
The need to build a large capacity fire protection tank was used to create a green space by fitting it in between the building and Industrijska Street, enriching the entire majestic complex.
