Dexion Malaysia Smart Hub

Dexion Malaysia, located in Section 15 of Shah Alam, is a prominent provider of industrial storage and shelving solutions. The facility is part of the global Dexion Group, known for its innovative and reliable storage solutions catering to various industries, including warehousing, retail, and manufacturing. The Shah Alam location likely serves as both a manufacturing site and a distribution center, producing and supplying a range of products such as pallet racking systems, shelving units, and automated storage systems.

Given the production requirements, maintaining a well-ventilated environment was essential. To address this, a single storey open structure was developed for the production facility. This design features motorised louvered walls along the production facility’s perimeter, allowing permeability of air ventilation and natural light during operations. The louvered walls are configured at an angle to prevent rainwater from entering, while maintaining effective airflow and illumination inside the production area.

Adjacent to the factory, a single-storey HQ office is situated, separated by a separating wall. A steel framework with metal roofing and cladding has been adopted for its efficiency. The roof is finished in a light colour to enhance heat reflectance and minimize heat absorption. To address the sound insulation requirements of the headquarters office, an insulated double skin metal deck roof system is utilized, enhancing sound absorption, particularly during rainy periods. The headquarters office is designed to exude a modern and elegant aesthetic, employing a “black box” concept, to make a bold architectural statement.
