Repeatable typologies

We are working with an electric vehicle manufacturer to create staff facilities blocks in their micro-factories in the UK, Europe and America. Factory structures are a simple typology and there are a limited number of variables which affect the design of the office space. The design of the staff facilities must respond to the factory structural grid, the existing window and entrance location.

Fixed Elements / Connecting Tissue

We have established a logic of how the main spaces should be organised and by using set arrangements of WC’s, showers, kitchens and other fixed elements connected by looser areas of circulation, changing rooms, café and workspaces we can adapt the blocks to fit a variety of existing structural modules and existing entrance points.

A simple design which can respond and adapt

By isolating variable factors, and creating a series of scenarios we have been able to create a simple design which can respond and adapt to a each new factory location without undertaking any major redesign. Mirroring the efficiency our clients are creating in their pioneering vehicle design and production lines.
