Situé dans le nouveau parc d'activités Ambachtsezoom, nous avons conçu un immeuble de bureaux circulaire en bois. Le bâtiment est situé à côté de l'entrée du parc d'activités et est entouré d'une bordure verte d'arbres matures.

L'immeuble de bureaux circulaire en bois et à énergie positive est le nouveau siège de PCS gebouwautomatisering. La structure principale se compose de colonnes et de poutres en bois et de planchers en CLT. La stabilité est assurée par un noyau en béton. Un plan d'étage librement divisible est créé autour de ce noyau, avec un podium avec des escaliers de tribune pour la consultation et les présentations au cœur. Le bâtiment est à énergie positive : il génère tous ses propres besoins en énergie (y compris la partie utilisateur), et même un peu plus. En outre, l'utilisation d'une grande quantité de bois permet de stocker le CO2.

Le bâtiment est circulaire et démontable, à l'exception du sous-sol du parking qui n'est pas démontable. La structure porteuse principale, l'enveloppe étanche, la conception structurelle, les installations et tous les matériaux utilisés peuvent être séparés les uns des autres, ce qui facilite leur remplacement ou leur réutilisation. Pour que cela soit possible à l'avenir, tous les matériaux ont été inclus dans un passeport des matériaux. Les matériaux tels que le PVC, la colle, le mastic et le polyuréthane ont été évités et aucun produit composite n'a été utilisé.

Le bâtiment a été conçu comme un volume de deux étages qui a été soulevé à partir du niveau du sol pour permettre le stationnement sous le bâtiment et à l'abri des regards. Le volume asymétriquement soulevé offre un espace pour un jardin abrité sur le toit. Une entrée reconnaissable et couverte a été laissée à l'extrémité du volume. L'introduction d'une façade transparente aux angles arrondis confère au bâtiment un caractère global. Les bandes de façade en surplomb varient en profondeur en fonction de l'orientation et servent donc également de protection solaire et limitent la demande d'énergie en été. La partie supérieure de ces bandeaux est recouverte d'un mélange d'herbes spécialement composé pour attirer les abeilles, les papillons et d'autres insectes.

Omega PCS Project – Innovative Glazing by Vandaglas

For the circular and energy-positive office building of PCS in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, Vandaglas provided the glazing. This project marks an important step in sustainable architecture, where innovation and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.

 

Project Details
Vandaglas delivered a total of 465 m² of TriplePerform Alfa flat glazing, along with 9 curved panes measuring 3396 x 2450 mm. A remarkable feature of these curved panes is that they were produced without distortion, ensuring no distracting reflections, which enhances both the functionality and aesthetics of the building. This approach aligns with Vandaglas' broader vision of providing high-quality, custom-made glass solutions that meet the specific needs of each project.

Thickness Calculation and Engineering
For the Omega PCS project, we meticulously performed the glass thickness calculations, with a strong focus on the curved panes. This is a critical aspect of our work, as the correct glass thickness not only affects safety but also the building’s energy performance. In collaboration with Rollecate, the façade builder, we ensured that the glass engineering closely aligned with the architectural vision of the building. This partnership resulted in an integrated approach where aesthetics and functionality are guaranteed.

Circular Architecture
The Omega PCS building, designed by EVA Architects, is an example of circular and sustainable building practices. The building is designed to generate its own energy, making it energy-positive. This is achieved through the use of a primary wooden structure, combined with innovative techniques and materials that minimize the ecological footprint.

The circular design approach ensures that all materials used can be easily separated and reused. This applies not only to the glass but also to other elements such as the waterproof envelope and the building’s interior. The concept is that all materials can be repurposed in the future, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.

Unique Design
The architecture of the building is designed as a two-story volume raised above the ground level. This design allows for parking underneath the building, contributing to more efficient use of space. The underground parking is the only non-dismantlable part of the building, giving the structure a flexible and adaptable nature.

The building features an asymmetrical raised volume that creates space for a sheltered rooftop garden. This garden is not only an aesthetic addition but also contributes to biodiversity with a specially curated herb mix that attracts bees, butterflies, and other insects. This highlights the project’s commitment to sustainability and environmental friendliness.

Transparency and Light
One of the standout features of the Omega PCS building is the transparent façade with rounded corners. This design gives the building an open appearance and allows for excellent natural light. Overhanging façade bands vary in depth depending on orientation and serve as sunshades. This helps to reduce the energy demand in summer while also adding to the visual appeal of the building.

The combination of these elements makes the Omega PCS project not only functional but also visually attractive for both users and visitors. The building is a space for collaboration and creativity, reflecting PCS’s core values.

Conclusion
With the delivery of high-quality glass solutions for the Omega PCS project, Vandaglas reaffirms its commitment to innovation and sustainability in the construction sector. This project is a prime example of how modern architecture and environmentally friendly practices can come together in a functional and aesthetically pleasing design.

Through this project, Vandaglas highlights its expertise in delivering custom glass solutions for sustainable and innovative construction projects.
