This analysis led to a series of volume studies that were examined for the project. Ultimately, this led to two main volumes, the smaller of which has a flat roof, and the larger of which has a north-south oriented pitched roof. This saddle roof is constructed in such a way that it catches northern light on the one hand, and on the other hand, makes it possible to integrate BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) on the south side. The structure is conceived as an ’empty box’ so that the building can easily change its function.
The same applies to the necessary studies for choosing the right materials. The justification for this is based on LCA studies and the application of the 7S principle.
