Zerres Logistics Centre

INDUSTRY

A high-quality central warehouse with an adjoined office unit, designed with black and transparent construction elements. The five-storey building has the appearance of a closed box. On the inside, state-of-the-art conveyor technology transports and sorts goods. Fronted by a large glass façade, the structure visually melts into an adjoined water basin that creates a link to the outdoor facilities. The company colours, black and white, also appear in the architecture. While the shell of the building is an elegant black, the interior elements – including the fixtures and conveyor technology – are designed in light hues. This contrast of dark and light creates a highly vivid effect.

The storage hall is divided into two units that are not separated physically: a traditional pallet warehouse for horizontally stacked goods and the actual logistics warehouse with a receipt zone and an issue zone. The latter features a complex garment-hanging system and computer-based warehouse management on three storeys. An additional, four-storey section will be added in future. The office unit contains a common room, a sample sewing and pressing department, a laundry and technological areas.
We have created a clear, high-quality architecture that goes beyond mere function and reflects the identity of the fashion company.

CLIENTS

»ZERRES, the internationally renowned trousers designer, has implemented an extraordinary project together with the Schrammen architecture office: its new logistics centre. The creativity, modern design and clear-cut shapes of the building are meant to reflect the dialogue between fashion and architecture. Down to the smallest detail, we have created a clear, high-quality structure that goes beyond mere function. The creative process was fuelled by the ideas we developed together and the implementation of solutions based on these ideas. Its results are a perfect fit, which can be seen in many details. The generous glass façade, water basin and the black aluminium panels give the building its unique character.«
