Building for Sale

TECHNICAL REPORT – DESCRIPTION IN GENERAL The building is located at the region of N. Rysio near the “Macedonia” airport. It is directly accessible by the central road axes of Thessaloniki – Moudania and Thessaloniki – Peraia. It was designed as a multipurpose building, in order to be able to accommodate operations of offices – exhibitions and storage. It is the larger building in area in the region. It has a coverage area of 3,600 square meters and furthermore a surface in loft areas. ARCHITECTURAL COMPOSITION The building was treated as a building that can cover multiple uses. Thus was designed a uniform building mass in the center of the plot, in order to create accesses to this from all the points of the plot. The load bearing structure of the building is structural steelwork (steel construction) and its filling is for the greater part thermal insulation panels of Italian origin and manufacture. The fillings of the main sides (façades) of the building have been constructed with curtain walls throughout the length and height of the building, rendering the building visible also from both the axes of access to this. On the main sides (façades) additional metallic elements were constructed, which enclose, highlight and shade the totality of the sides (façades), which shall be covered (paneled) with etalbond and architectural mesh. The form of these elements attribute a mobility and at the same time a fluidity to the building, which hovers in space and alters its sides (façades) by changing the position of its observation. On the lateral sides (façades) was followed the solution of the complete (panel) and gaps (openings), which by the installation of light suspended shelters they signal the side entrances to the building. FUNCTIONAL COMPOSITION The building was constructed in order to be accessible to its main sides (façades) from both axes of the through (double frontage) plot. The accesses to the lateral limits of the building are achieved by the distance left. The building was divided into four sections, each having its functional autonomy and access. Its placement at the same level with the open space makes the access to its interior ever easier by motor means. TECHNOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS AND SURROUNDING AREA It was maintained according to its morphology and volume. The selection of the installations in terms of construction materials, extent, type, structure, strength and aesthetics, was realized for the safe, adequate also in terms of facilities comfortable operation, great flexibility of the installations, in order to be amenable without particular difficulty and considerable economic cost to any alteration for their adaptation to changes in use, fitting out of the premises, as well as to its incorporation into new technology applications. Especially in the sector of geothermics, photovoltaic solutions, roof rainwater harvesting etc. The rainwater harvesting has been realized by special pipes along the perimeter of the building and the accumulation of water for automatic watering. By the provision of a drill hole we offer safety in the use of the building both against the handling (operation) of the installations themselves and against other factors (fire, drought, water supply failure, Public Power Corporation failure etc.). By the creation of these uses we significantly reduce the operating expenditure of the building. The entire open-air space of the building has been landscaped with plant beds, trees, fountains, seating areas, lawn, olive trees and fruit trees, constituting a special and integral part with the environment, but also the mood for a calm and joyful working environment. The division of the building into 4 sections can provide the solution of the separate exploitation, without excluding the solution for an autonomous operation of the entire building for one and unique use. In the interior are created all the necessary constructions, as these are depicted also in the plan view, creation of offices, exhibition, lofts, sanitary facilities etc. At the exterior, except from the outdoor parking has been realized also indoor parking near the ramps, with independent accesses for each section separately. There exists external lighting with ground lights with Lidle lamps (1 watt expenditure each that provides 30 watts of lighting), also additional lighting all around and above the building with a prospect to connect these to photovoltaic energy. Furthermore there exists an underground space of 100 square meters formed for auxiliary uses. On the ceiling slab (plate) of the basement an outdoor seating area is created, incorporated in the surrounding area. CONCLUSION Finally, the general, comprehensive aesthetics of the building along with the practical function provide the building with excellent results and satisfaction for the people (designer Architects, supervising engineers, constructors with all the crews) who work until this day for its completion.
