Huy Hoang Lock Factory is located in Quang Minh Industrial Zone and is about 20 km away from Hanoi. The complex factory includes three buildings: two of them are rather simple boxes. The new factory should symbolise the innovation and stable development throughout 40 years of Huy Hoang. The expectation was put into practice by not only getting the Gold Leed Construction in the designing process but also getting the GOLD LEED operation in manufacturing. The building is based on a Core and Shell structure to create the open space inside the building. But that's not all, the architecture is precisely tailored to the climate, so that the form is derived from the reflection of natural conditions.
Hanoi is quite typical for the Northern climate with the characteristics of a humid tropical monsoon climate, hot summer, heavy rain and cold winter with little rain. Located in the tropics, Hanoi receives high temperature all year round. To solve this problem, the facade system consists of concrete lam elements that are arranged differently in density and opening angle according to the cardinal points
Reflecting on climatic conditions is not just a utilitarian intention. It generates architectural added value. An added value that has a lot to do with rhythm, change, authenticity of the materials and durability. The message of architecture is clearly defined; it is about the cultural aspirations and their appropriateness in the context. The building opens to those arriving and changes to those moving around the site.
This is a factory complex designed as a campus where public space is the top priority. The operating building is designed with open spaces, including exhibition, training spaces, and offices. The main hall is designed as a museum where visitors can learn about the history of the corporation or observe the process of creating the factory’s products. Indeed, the building is designed and built to serve the community and users well, so it will stand the test of time.
