5. • Infographic Style • The building has been
designed as an exhibition
and marketing centre for
precast concrete products
and elements manufactured
by Spæncom
• functions as the
administrative centre for the
factory
• Has office space and
conference rooms.
• essentially the ‘gateway’ into
the precast factory
• complex and therefore has
been placed in a prominent
position

6. The main building façade is framed by a grillage of widely spaced columns and beams which support
a glass curtail wall. In front of this there is a filigree concrete screen wall composed of close centred slender
vertical precast panels. They are spaced far enough apart to offer good views from the mezzanine floor
but are close enough to filter direct sunlight and reduce solar gain through the glass panels behind it.
7. Main Structure
column supported
concrete roof slab,
which turns a right
angle
to fold down both
gable ends of the
building
In the space below the
roof slab are a number
of freestanding
concrete walls that
frame a mezzanine floor
which creates the
exhibition area and
encloses the
office area below.
Some of these
internal walls are
painted in bright
colours to mark
different spatial
relationships and
end usage
The mezzanine floor and
ground floor office areas are
covered in rolled
rubber. The entrance area,
corridors and passageways on
the ground floor have been left
as a power floated
concrete slab which is
subdivided into bays by metal
strip inserts.
8. Discussion
The building
would also
function as the
administrative
centre for the
factory, grouping
key staff into one
area and
improving
communication
and team work.
They wanted a
building that
would showcase
their precast
products,
with seminar
areas where they
could show a film
or video of their
latest
developments, or
train customers
and specifiers on
the design,
installation and
performance of
their products.

the house style of Spæncom,
encapsulating innovation and
product excellence
in the way it was presented.
11. In Denmark it is far easier to build elegant
concrete structures using in situ
concrete
The challenge for us was
to design the precast elements so that they
were refined and aesthetically pleasing
yet inexpensive to produce.
The building was oriented towards the west to bring in lots of
natural light so that upon entry, it looked and felt surprisingly
transparent and open plan. We also planned the design so that
when you see the building you only notice one
structural material throughout its construction.
We wanted to create our screen wall structure with verticalslots that
was integral with the other precast elements. The screen wall panel
was detailed to be cast in 6m by 6m bays and designed to be self-
supporting. The 6m high vertical blades were made as thin as
possible and spaced 300mm apart, supported every 1.2m horizontally
by stiffening blade beams that were the same thickness of the vertical
elements.
12. The Idea of The The idea of the filigree
screen Façade
the vertical brise soleil –
came to me while
walking the sandy
beaches of Durban during
one holiday.
You can see the same
effect in traditional brick
built
grain silos of southern
Italy in the countryside of
my home town
The brickwork
has regular slotted
openings built into them
to dry the grain.
Looking up at the bright
sea front apartments, the
balcony walls were arranged in
a very intriguing patterns
creating horizontal shadow
gaps like slots punched into a
computer card, running
the length of the building.
13. We divided the internal space using precast
wall units which
also support the mezzanine floor and create
backdrops to display artwork.
Colour was introduced to the internal wall faces for functional
separation and as a stimulus. We did not want to use
pigmented concrete as this would fade with time.
Paint was much more vibrant and more expedient. Precast floor
planks were used to span between the wall units for the mezzanine
floor, with precast parapets forming solid balustrades along the
perimeter of the open plan floor area
