For ROLLPLAST, a leading European manufacturer of doors, windows, and blinds, IPA – Architecture and more designed a new high-tech production and administrative complex.
The facility occupies a site of 78,000 sq.m with a total built-up area of 40,162 sq.m. It includes production halls for PVC, wooden, aluminum, and steel windows and doors; insulating glass units; exterior and interior blinds; and garage doors. The complex also features a dedicated hall for powder-coating aluminum profiles, a wholesale warehouse for finished products, and a new administrative building.
The production complex consists of several halls with different dimensions, connected through thermal-air links. A key design element is the extensive use of natural light, ensured through large glazed surfaces and light tubes, which improve both energy efficiency and working conditions. The architects placed special emphasis on creating comfortable work environments at every level of the complex, incorporating high-quality materials and well-considered solutions throughout.
The administrative offices are integrated directly within the respective production sectors, providing visual access and enhanced control over the workflow. The office facades feature a wooden structural framework combined with sound-insulating glazing. Specialized heating and cooling systems, together with acoustic ceiling panels, contribute to a high level of employee comfort.
The administrative building is developed on two floors, with ceiling heights reaching 5 meters on the first level and 4 meters on the second. The ground floor accommodates a central 600-sq.m showroom displaying the company’s full product range. The second floor includes administrative offices, executive rooms, meeting halls, a training room, a kitchen, and a recreation area equipped with table football, darts, and massage chairs. The building also features a restaurant with approximately 60 seats.
The facade of the administrative building, designed by IPA – Architecture and more, combines natural stone and wooden elements, creating a distinctive architectural character. Large window openings play a key role in bringing abundant natural light into the interior, while light tubes integrated into the roof further enhance the quality of daylight within the workspace.
The project received First Prize in the category Production and Logistics Buildings at the national competition Building of the Year 2023.
