The new built bulk-waste depot in Munich reflects with its design the established signal colour orange which everybody in Munich and Germany knows from the Orange-coloured clothing, orange vehicles and containers from waste collection. The translucent orange facade, with the orange coloured containers in combination with the strip of exposed concrete build a union which reflects and combines all functional processes. The façade panels from Rodeca serve as rain screen application for better heat insulation as well as in non-insulated areas they serve as weather protection. They are made with the tongue and groove panel 2550-10 in Duocolor version with outside Orange in inside crystal. The bulk waist deport is organized in a ring form which at the same time reflects the functional processes. A 9 m wide polygonal concrete strip frames the asphalt area of parking space which is in the centre of the premises; it frames the bulk waist depot and draws the outline to the functional independent zone of the container storage. The single functional units of Human resources, problematic waist, non-air conditioned hall, technical departments as well as storage are merged by the strip of exposed concrete. On the ground the strip of exposed concrete marks the floor space for containers.
