METAL ROOF
The main roof of Indonesia Arena utilizes a space frame to support the large oval stadium, which can span up to 127 x 102 m. Metal was chosen as the roof covering material for its speed of work, cost efficiency, and ability to span such a wide area. To ensure the stadium meets the minimum acoustic requirements (NC 45-55 or 55-65 dBA), a specific insulation layer consisting of a spray cell, gypsum board, acoustic paint, and a specially calculated air gap was implemented
SUN PATH
One of the request also to allowing natural sunlight to come through. Giving opportunity for multiple facade opening, with the need of consideration with the building facing the west side
AIR FLOW
Natural air flow become one of the main request to be achieved in these design process. The wind comes from the west, giving the opportunity for making multiple openings, creating cross-ventilation
WATER LEVEL
The existing area, used to be being flooded because the surrounding condition. The water level reaches 50 cm from above the ground. The condition of the building and street level being on a same level, causing the ground floor inoperable
Material
Metal has been chosen as the roof covering material for its versatility and functionality. It can be shaped and expressed in various ways, proving that metal roofs can be explored with dynamic shapes and openings that effectively shade the spaces below. This design ensures that the semi-outdoor spaces are not only protected from rain and heat but also provide a comfortable environment for various activities.
Contextual
The roof shape is varied, with various forms cut, split, curved, and tapered to accommodate architectural aesthetics. Also, from the functional point of view, it can accommodate different activities and still has a pitched roof shame that is contextual to the surrounding area.
Shade
Tropical climates require shade in buildings, so the roof shape ensures that semi-outdoor spaces are not exposed to rain and heat. The roof openings and building cavities also allow extensive landscaping to be injected between spaces, creating a more leisurely vibe and resort-building style.
Contextual Massing
The building is designed from several building mass arrangements with their respective functions. It is shaded by a series of pitched roof explorations to provide a building expression that blends more with the typology of the surrounding residential buildings, which primarily use pitched roofs. The building masses are then cut to provide room for landscapes, a series of voids, and building cavities to ensure good natural air circulation and light into the building.
HAYWARD QUARTZ TECHNOLOGY FACTORY VIETNAM Redefining Industrial Architecture
The Hayward Quartz Technology Factory, located in the Vietnam - Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP 1), is a state-of-the-art industrial facility that highlights distinctive design, innovative use of steel, and sustainable design practices. Completed in 2008 and spanning 15,000 sqm, this factory represents a new era of industrial architecture, harmoniously combining visual appeal with technical excellence.
Unique Design: Redefining the Norm
Departing from traditional boxy structures, the Hayward Quartz Factory features a circular atrium and a vaulted roof, reflecting the inspiration drawn from the company's semiconductor products. This atrium acts as the centerpiece of the design, linking various spaces while flooding the interior with natural light.
Beyond its striking appearance, the design is highly functional, fostering a positive and open work environment for employees. These features establish the factory as a remarkable example of industrial design, raising the new benchmark in the region.
Innovation in Steel: Engineering Mastery
The factory's design prominently features COLOROND® steel, which plays a crucial role in its overall structure. BlueScope Steel delivered innovative solutions for the vaulted roof, balancing durability with aesthetic charm. The distinctive curves of the roof were made possible through this collaboration, highlighting the capabilities of prefabricated steel structures.
“Thanks to BlueScope's advanced steel, architects were able to expand the possibilities within Vietnam's industrial sector. The outcome is a building that combines remarkable strength with striking visual appeal, ensuring lasting structural integrity.”
Sustainability: Built for the Future
Sustainability is at the heart of the Hayward Quartz Factory's design. With a focus on employee well-being, the building features open, green spaces, ventilation, and ample natural light, reducing reliance on artificial lighting and fostering a comfortable environment.
The COLORBOND® steel roofing is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance, enhancing the factory's sustainability. Additionally, the implementation of energy-efficient systems significantly lowers environmental impact, establishing the factory as a benchmark for responsible industrial design.
An Inspiration for Future Projects
The Hayward Quartz Technology Factory transcends its role as a mere production facility; it stands as a beacon of innovation, design, and sustainability. Its striking architecture and progressive material choices serve as an inspiring example for industrial projects throughout ASEAN, showcasing how functionality can beautifully align with aesthetic appeal.
