MAN
administrative and legal entity and authorized service for commercial vehicles
The intention of the investor and future operator was to develop a proposal for a technical park for the service of trucks in Ostrava - Přívoz, which consists of a new truck service building including an administrative part of the facility, modification of the existing workshop building, truck wash, paved areas, and parking.
The original intention of the investor was to build the facility according to MAN standards. This practically means a concocted "assemblage" of nonsensical volumes, layered in and beside each other according to incomprehensible connections. (see, for example, commercial chains LIDL, KAUFLAND, BILLA, etc.) After discussions with the investor, it was possible to forget about these standards and devise a new concept for the entire area and building. The standards had to be incorporated only into the color scheme after negotiations with MAN's management. This resulted in the originally proposed dark gray building becoming almost white.
The main building of the area consists of a newly constructed administrative and service building for trucks. The entire building is designed with regard to the maneuvering of trucks in the area towards the center of the addressed territory. The goal was to create a simple compact unit with a progressive and clear expression of a 21st-century facility. The service building is designed as a rectangular block, functionally divided into two basic parts - a repair workshop with inspection pits and an administrative-building. The compact homogeneous mass of the service building is softened by rounded corners of the outer walls. The motif of rounding is also used on the strip windows of the administrative parts and the corners of the ground floor at the customer center and shop. In the repair workshop section, the harshness of the mass is softened by the truck entrance doors. All curvature motifs are an abstracted decor to soften the hardness of the block mass. At the same time, they do not suppress the "rawness of the entire truck service facility." The compactness of the entire building forms a unified shell, which is vertically articulated. The outer shell is made of TRIMO sandwich panels. The bending of the panels was carried out by the supplier according to our requirements. After long hesitation, the company eventually decided, under pressure from us as well as from the investor, to try bending the panels, and on the second attempt, they succeeded in improving their "invention" and appropriately bending all the panels.
The repair workshop is designed as a single-story hall with four inspection pits, one diagnostic area, one drive-through space, and in the last enclosed area, there is a wash. The administrative part is designed as a three-story building, with the third floor being one third smaller in plan area than the first two. The ground floor includes reception, shop, technical support for the service. The 2nd and 3rd floors serve as administration.
