The Rollplast Production and Administrative Complex in Kostinbrod is a project by IPA - Architecture and more, completed in 2023 for Rollplast Group AD. With a gross floor area of 40,162 sq m, the complex integrates manufacturing, storage, administrative, and representative functions. The project forms part of the IPA - Architecture and more portfolio of manufacturing facilities.
The facility occupies an area of 78,000 sq m and includes production halls for PVC, timber, aluminum, and steel windows and doors, insulated glass units, external and internal blinds, and garage doors. The program also includes a facility for painting aluminum profiles, a wholesale warehouse for finished products, and an administrative building. The scale and integration of different production processes also connect the project with the IPA - Architecture and more portfolio of industrial buildings.
The production halls have different spatial parameters and are functionally connected according to the organization of the manufacturing processes. The architectural design places an emphasis on maximizing natural daylight through extensive glazing and daylight tubes. These solutions improve daylight levels within the workspaces and reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day.
Administrative office spaces are integrated within the individual production sectors, providing a direct visual connection with the manufacturing process. Their facade design incorporates a timber structure and sound-insulating glazing, while heating and cooling systems and acoustic ceiling panels contribute to workplace comfort.
The separate administrative building is organized across two floors, with ceiling heights of 5 m on the first floor and 4 m on the second. A 600 sq m central showroom on the ground floor presents the Rollplast product range. The second floor includes administrative offices, executive offices, meeting rooms, a training room, kitchen, and lounge area. The building also includes a restaurant with approximately 60 seats.
The architectural expression of the administrative building combines natural stone, timber elements, and large glazed surfaces. Daylight is a central component of both the facade design and the interior environment, with daylight tubes directing natural light through the roof structure into the workspaces.
The project received First Prize in the Production and Logistics Buildings category at the Building of the Year 2023 national competition.
