Partly due to its national growth, but also because of increasing export activities this distribution center was definitely in need of expansion. Therefore, it was decided to increase its existing distribution capacity with a considerable expansion of 6000 m2 and on top of that, 10.000 m2 of new constructions. Both expansions are the product of architecture studio Van Oers and Weijers, who also designed the company’s head office several years ago. From out this distribution center clothing collections are delivered to all branches of the company for unpacking, controlling and sorting, so that they can be transported to the shops. The loading and unloading pit - with its eight dock shelters - is obviously a very important section of the building. The façade of the expansion is constructed equally to the existing business area by using Hunter Douglas QuadroClad® façade panels. While implementing these panels, whole panel sizes and detailing were of much importance since it was desired to obtain a tight and neat appearance. The bold red Hunter Douglas V-100 exterior open ceiling was selected, for its bold colour and compatibility with sprinkler system requirements and height. The colours chosen correspond to the modern style of the company.
