The Ascendas Nusajaya Tech Park’s ready-built factory architecture design showcases contemporary industrial architecture while aligning and maintain both local and international industrial sector standards expectations. The design vision was focused on harmonizing the aesthetics and functionality, that enables to optimize operational and energy efficiency particularly through the integration of the Industrialized Building System (IBS).

Sustainability is embedded as the main design concept by introducing the aerodynamic form that exhibit energy efficiency boost. By providing modern features in the curved forms and streamlined profiles, it promotes corresponding ceiling heights based on space usage that optimize operational and well-organized layout of the unit which can accommodate various tenants workspace. The overhangs allowed lower floor to have large windows to maximize natural light and the upper level provided with slanting horizontal louvers, reducing the need for artificial lighting thus lowering energy consumption.

The core technique to deliver this dynamic factory’s design is the innovation of the use of IBS technology. This system was applied to the roof system, steel structure, full height glass and wall cladding –aluminium composite panel (ACP) allows for high precision in manufacturing and quick assembly on-site that significantly reduces construction time and minimizes waste by specifying durable materials that will ensure a long lifespan for the building, further aligning with sustainable practices by minimizing the need for frequent repairs or replacements. Single-skin R670 roof system used to cover every unit and matching metal cladding upholds the sleek industrial look while ensuring robustness and ease of maintenance. Colorbond flashing also installed to seamlessly cover all detailing between ACP and 715/45 Series horizontal corrugated wall cladding.

Bold color scheme –red, orange and yellow derived from the ACP 3000 Series alloy with PVDF coating that represents each unit type was intentional to highlight the building’s form curved edges and angular lines in grey. This approach reflects a thoughtful blend of form and function not only just visually appealing but also enhances the aesthetic quality of the industrial landscape by taking into account to equal with the surrounding neighbourhood. The building’s construction also minimizes disruption as the use of prefabricated components allows for faster completion time, reduction of site labour, cleaner environment and safer construction site. This approach not only benefits the local economy but also fosters a sense of positivity within the community.

Human-centric design principles are evident throughout the large windows and the provisions of natural light create a pleasant and comfortable workplace, significantly enhance employee well-being and productivity. The covered main entrance, loading and unloading areas protect workers from inclement weather conditions, emphasizing the consideration for their comfort and safety. Additionally, the noise reduction achieved through aerodynamic design ensures a quieter interior environment, contributing to a more conducive working environment. These elements reflect a deep commitment to creating a factory that prioritizes the health, safety, and overall satisfaction of its occupants.

In conclusion, this ready-built factory exemplifies that contemporary industrial architecture likewise able to achieve design excellence, innovation, sustainability, community focus, and humanity. Through the integration of IBS technology, the aerodynamic shapes of the building was made possible through advanced methods of building construction that is both energy efficient and effective while showcasing sustainable materials, the high precision prefabrication perfectly meets practical tenant needs, lower operational costs also enhances the visual and environmental quality of its surroundings. This project illustrates industrial also made available in vibrant colors and large windows that lead to superior building performance, sustainable innovative practices while reducing impact to the atmosphere. Serves as a model for future industrial developments, demonstrating that with thoughtful design and innovative construction techniques, factories can be both functional and inspiring spaces.
