Description: The project provides a brand new freeze dried coffee manufacturing facility adjacent to the Nestlé UK existing factory. The buildings were strongly influenced by the process requirements and vary from single storey to approximately 36m in height.
“…A significant project being the £200M high quality process engineering facility on a green field site that was commended by CABE panel during the design process, which Daniel was instrumental in achieving. ”
Original CGI - from perimeter through landscaped grassy mounds
Solution: It was important to develop a strong design principle that physically connected the separate buildings by creating a continuous rhythm that runs throughout the entire development. Gold mesh is used on the taller buildings to create a metallic and textured finish that changes with light and weather conditions. The red cladding panels with dark ‘slot’ windows wrap around the development to create an ‘ribbon’ with strong horizontal architectural language.
