Austerely designed commercial premises for a printing works near Lelystad. The building is full of smart solutions and proves once again how easily innovative and high-quality business accommodation can be created at an affordable price by adapting building components and structuring the building process in a controlled manner. All components are standardized and prefabricated, with the exception of the concrete foundations and the ground-level floor. The spatial set-up is oriented to the production process: paper enters the building on the one side, goes through storage, offset, and processing, is again stored, and leaves the building as printed matter on the other side. Glass interior walls and voids in the first floor allow one to follow the printing processes from the centrally situated prepress area as well as from the offices on the first floor. Through skylights, daylight can penetrate to the heart of the building. The steel supporting construction consists of box columns which all have the same dimensions but differ in wall thickness according to the load they have to bear. This enabled substantial savings in steel. The roof consists of prefab elements equipped with insulation, roof covering, and profiled steel plates as ceiling finishing. A flexible finishing of the interior walls allows the roof to sag a little if it has to take a heavy load. The most conspicuous façade is made of sandwich panels with hardened glass on the outside. The panels are fixed in place with (re-)adjustable clamps, enabling the creation of an almost seamless, smooth façade. A strip of clear glass on each storey offers a wide panorama of the surrounding landscape. The side façades consist of perforated sheet piling that continues where the building stops, so that the entrance façade, which is made completely of glass, is furnished with a ‘forecourt’ and a windbreak.
