Commercial premises covering more than 13,000 m2 for Ronic, a former producer of display materials and shop interiors in Woerden. The building contains production areas, offices, a reception hall, showroom, company canteen, storage areas, and a dispatch bay. The form and layout were primarily determined by the production process of the user, the elongated dimensions of the parcel, and the restrictions imposed by the zoning plan. These restrictions were dealt with creatively. To avoid large building volumes, only a part of the parcel could be built upon. However, much space was needed to accommodate the company functions. Accordingly, the building was designed as a rectangular volume that more or less covers the entire parcel, but in which a number of large patios, varying in size, have been cut out. At the patios, the profile of the steel façade continues on in 50% perforated stainless steel. Combined with large voids in the first floor, this ensures that daylight penetrates deep into the building and that pleasant open spaces are created. Much attention was devoted to the finishing. The seams join elegantly and attractive inner gardens embellish the patios. An elegant building with a high-quality allure was created by means of industrial techniques and a relatively low budget. The Ronic building was awarded the Dutch National Steel Prize 2004. The jury regarded the building as the example of how more quality can be introduced into industrial construction. When Ronic eventually ceased its activities, the building was immediately purchased by another company in the display and interior decoration sector, DW Retail Design.
