About the project

Megatron Headquarters was designed by IPA - Architecture and more following a series of projects for the company's sales and service facilities across Bulgaria. Megatron specializes in the sales, support, and servicing of agricultural, construction, forestry, golf, and garden equipment. The architectural design of the new headquarters brings the company's administrative, commercial, and service functions together within a single complex. Despite the scale and complexity of the program, the project was completed within one year.

The business center consists of two interconnected buildings: an administrative building and a service facility. The administrative building rises over three floors, with the upper level partially recessed to create an open terrace and give the overall volume a more distinctive silhouette. It accommodates offices, conference rooms, changing rooms, and a spacious showroom with sales representatives and a store for parts and accessories. The service facility is organized as a separate 10-meter-high volume containing eight equipment service bays and a large warehouse.

The architectural expression of the office building combines two types of curtain wall systems with a vertical grid of white aluminum composite panels. Large glazed surfaces bring natural light into the workspaces and give the facades a sense of visual lightness. A distinctive feature of the project is the use of the fifth facade as part of Megatron's visual identity. The company's name and logo are positioned on the roof so they can also be recognized from the air.

The outdoor areas are directly related to the company's operations. They include an equipment display zone, an off-road test track, a dedicated canopy, an in-house car wash, and oil storage. The complex provides 202 car parking spaces for clients and employees and 28 bicycle parking spaces. Landscaped paths, walking and relaxation areas, and a basketball court are integrated into the grounds, while a kitchen and restaurant are provided for staff.

By combining administrative, commercial, service, and storage functions, the headquarters operates as a unified base for the management of Megatron's nationwide sales and service network.
