Article source: Ian Shaw Architekten This scheme’s abstract form references the classic garage format with forecourt. The simple steel frame structure is clad in translucent panels to reduce energy consumption and facilitate productivity. At night, the workshop functions as a light beacon, illuminating the main entrance to the industrial complex. Internally, the building’s skin delivers a defused light, creating a relaxed environment in which to work, uncluttered by the visual harshness of the industrial surroundings.

These elements combine to accentuate the workshop’s distinctive cantilevered roof form and ground the building in its location.

This eliminates the need for cross bracing in the outer skin, thereby ensuring the clarity of the design and its architectural impact as a light beacon. Only standard industrial products were used in the making of Workshop Siegen.  Image Courtesy Ian Shaw Architekten  Image Courtesy Ian Shaw Architekten
