INDUSTRIAL – 01 - KARLE GARMENT
FACTORY
EXTENT OF INVOLVEMENT
• Concept Design, Study models, presentation
drawings, Sanction Drawings and on site
Development.
• Research on Garment factory requirements.
• Working Drawings and detailing.
• Co ordination with consultants.
SITE
• Situated 25km from Bangalore City.
• The total area of the site is 37,100 Sq.m.
• As per the bye – laws applicable, a sufficient
portion of the plot was reserved for future road
widening since it was located adjacent to a national
highway.
REQUIREMENT AND PROGRAM
• The client had already developed a prefabricated
warehouse as shown in the key plan (Block 4).
• Our brief was to develop a front office building
(Block 1) and a showcase warehouse (Block 2) in
front of this existing warehouse as a new facade
between the highway and the warehouse, which has
a bleak elevation.
•The front office building is to house facilities such
as private offices for the senior managers,
orientation and seminar rooms, meeting rooms and
an exhibition space.
• The show case warehouse is to house facilities for
presentation of garments to clients.
DESIGN RESOLUTION
• The structure rises in response to the height of the
warehouse in the rear thus minimizing the view of
the mundane rear warehouse from the highway.
• Since floor areas are large and uninterrupted, we
used double height spaces and greater floor to
ceiling heights proportional to the horizontal
spaces.
• The buildings are a combination of simple
geometric forms interlocking to form a complex
interplay of spatial volumes.
CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY
• RCC construction with exposed form finished
concrete and glass is used for the front office.
• Prefabricated steel portal frames were used for
the showcase garment factory with aluminum sheet
siding.
• Mild Steel box section pergolas.
