This project involves the development of three small-scale warehouses on a greenfield site, each incorporating a compact office and a storage mezzanine. The design prioritises cost-efficiency and functional simplicity, delivering an optimal balance between budget and performance for the client.

The site has been strategically maximised, with consideration given to future expansion. An adjacent lot, also owned by the client, allows for a mirrored development that can be seamlessly connected at a later stage, enhancing long-term flexibility and value.

The overall building adopts an L-shaped configuration, carefully planned to minimise the extent of internal fire-rated walls while maintaining efficient circulation and layout. A straightforward and practical car parking arrangement further supports usability and cost control.

Construction is based on durable and economical materials, including concrete tilt panel boundary walls and a simple, efficient roof form. To enhance internal amenity and reduce reliance on artificial lighting, translucent roof sheeting (laser light) is incorporated to provide natural daylight to a minimum of 20% of the warehouse floor area.

Thermal performance is addressed through insulation blanket installed to the underside of the roof sheeting. The design also allows for future sustainability upgrades, including provisional allowance for solar panel installation and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

The relatively flat nature of the site contributes to construction efficiency, reducing the need for extensive earthworks and enabling a more streamlined build process.
