New Centre for the Management, Repair And Reuse of Bulky Items in Araba
Work has begun on the Centre for the Management, Repair and Reuse of Bulky Items in Araba
KREAN and ZIKOTZ were awarded the contract promoted by the Provincial Council of Álava for the design and execution of the works
The building will have a surface area of 3,283 m² and is located at Bilodabidea 5, in the Jundiz Industrial Estate, in Vitoria-Gasteiz. It is a prefabricated concrete building with a layout organised on the ground floor and mezzanine.
The decorative sheet metal on the façade is used to great effect, extending down to the ground floor in the most prestigious areas and framing significant windows, highlighting the duality of the building between industrial and administrative, between the centre’s own workers and accessibility to the public.
It is a sustainable proposal, with electricity production and the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof. Similarly, the offices will be fitted with high-performance thermal enclosures for high comfort and low energy consumption.
The proposal humanises the industrial environment, improving the well-being of workers and encouraging interaction with the community, providing the option of carrying out activities linked to raising public awareness about recycling and the circular economy, which form the basis of the centre.
