INDUSTRIAL – 01 - KARLE GARMENT FACTORY

EXTENT OF INVOLVEMENT• Concept Design, Study models, presentation drawings, Sanction Drawings and on site Development.• Research on Garment factory requirements.• Working Drawings and detailing.• Co ordination with consultants.

SITE• Situated 25km from Bangalore City.• The total area of the site is 37,100 Sq.m.• As per the bye – laws applicable, a sufficient portion of the plot was reserved for future road widening since it was located adjacent to a national highway.

REQUIREMENT AND PROGRAM• The client had already developed a prefabricated warehouse as shown in the key plan (Block 4).• Our brief was to develop a front office building (Block 1) and a showcase warehouse (Block 2) in front of this existing warehouse as a new facade between the highway and the warehouse, which has a bleak elevation. •The front office building is to house facilities such as private offices for the senior managers, orientation and seminar rooms, meeting rooms and an exhibition space.• The show case warehouse is to house facilities for presentation of garments to clients.

DESIGN RESOLUTION• The structure rises in response to the height of the warehouse in the rear thus minimizing the view of the mundane rear warehouse from the highway.• Since floor areas are large and uninterrupted, we used double height spaces and greater floor to ceiling heights proportional to the horizontal spaces.• The buildings are a combination of simple geometric forms interlocking to form a complex interplay of spatial volumes.

CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY• RCC construction with exposed form finished concrete and glass is used for the front office.• Prefabricated steel portal frames were used for the showcase garment factory with aluminum sheet siding.• Mild Steel box section pergolas.
