The Madrid-based Estudio Arquitectura Hago has been commissioned to design and build this industrial building that mixes office spaces, storage, and open-plan work areas on the outskirts of the municipality of Herrera del Duque in Badajoz.

Although from the outside the building can be seen as a single complex that adapts its entire morphology to the terrain in which it is located, the reality is that the industrial complex houses two independent headquarters, one of a mobile park and the other of the Promedio consortium.
The building designed by Estudio Arquitectura Hago experiments with the limits between the rural undeveloped fields of Badajoz and the urban, placing itself at a midpoint between them on the outskirts of the city. The two headquarters that are housed inside share similar programs, creating spaces for offices, double-height storage areas, and open-plan work areas that are replicated in both.

The whole building maintains a classic air since it is built employing a series of reinforced concrete pilasters that are interspersed with metal panels that blind the interior of the building. This concrete that is used following a structural order allows the complex to obtain a certain monumental aspect while integrating into the surrounding landscape.
 

Description of project by Estudio Arquitectura Hago

The proposal is part of a series of works where we test the boundaries between urban and rural landscapes through an industrial use. In this case we found an unspoilt land, undeveloped, on the outskirts of the city.

The program of uses solves a typology on which we had previously worked: two industrial buildings with a simple program of uses made up of offices, open-plan work areas and double-height storage areas. The proposal organizes the program from east to west, in semidetached typology, which adapts its morphology to the surface and volume of the uses and the orography of the plot.

As if it were a classic composition, the building is constructed through stacked concrete facades blinded with a metal cladding. The brutality of the hard-executed concrete links the building with the landscape, while the structural order created links the scale of the complex with an idea of urban monumentality.
