Thermo King Logistics and Warehouse in Bozhurishte was completed in less than a year and designed by IPA - Architecture and more as a compact industrial facility supporting the different operations of the investor, ThermoPro. The project forms part of the studio's portfolio of industrial buildings. The current English project page confirms the project name, location, year, and program.
The facility is organized into three principal functional zones: administrative, logistics and warehouse, and service. The architectural design treats them as independent but interconnected sectors within a single building volume, creating clear relationships between the different operational processes.
The warehouse includes an area for receiving and preparing deliveries, together with dedicated storage spaces. As part of the engineering design, safety and natural ventilation systems are integrated to support both secure operation and a comfortable indoor environment.
The service area consists of six bays designed for the repair and maintenance of cars, vans, semi-trailers, and trucks. In addition to artificial lighting, the workspaces receive natural daylight through a partially glazed section of the roof.
The administrative component is arranged across two floors and contains offices and employee facilities. The main entrance is positioned within this part of the building and is emphasized by a projecting angled frame and canopy that form the primary architectural accent.
The facade uses thermal panels and a restrained architectural language appropriate to an industrial facility. White and gray distinguish the administrative and service areas, while blue accents at the service doors and aluminum composite elements around the windows introduce the brand identity and reinforce the visual organization of the building.
The exterior areas are planned around the circulation and maneuvering requirements of different vehicle types. Parking is distributed around the building and along the perimeter of the site to accommodate both customer and operational traffic.
Thermo King Logistics and Warehouse demonstrates how administrative, storage, logistics, and service functions can be integrated within a compact and clearly organized industrial building while maintaining a distinct architectural identity.
