Panda Corporation entrusted the team of IPA – Architecture and more with the design of the third building of its logistics complex in the village of Ravno Pole. Completed in 2022, the facility now forms one of the most advanced logistics hubs in the region and, with a total area of 21,154 sq.m, stands among the largest of its kind in Southeastern Europe.
The warehouse is conceived as a single expansive volume, functionally divided into two main zones, with a partial second level dedicated to administrative operations. The racking system is developed to the maximum allowable height, while induction-guided warehouse equipment ensures both speed and operational safety.
A key technological highlight is the implementation of the only 2D OSR automated system of its kind in the Balkans, enabling simultaneous storage and retrieval of goods on a single level. The system features six robots that significantly enhance productivity across storage, picking, and dispatch processes. The warehouse is certified as Class A by the Bulgarian Investment Agency.
The architectural expression balances refined aesthetics with strict requirements for functionality and fire safety. The complex is equipped with an optimal number of TIR docks and parking spaces to support intensive logistics operations.
Interior and facade colors follow the corporate identity of the company, reinforcing a cohesive visual presence. Beyond the high energy efficiency achieved through carefully selected materials, Block C is equipped with a photovoltaic power plant that supplies a major share of the building’s energy demand.
With the completion of the third building, the team of IPA – Architecture and more delivered a fully unified architectural vision, maximizing the capacity, efficiency, and overall functionality of the logistics base.
