LIGHTNESS DEFINED BY COLOR

The design approach for this project is to 1) open up the existing structure to conform to code requirements in order to optimize the corner lot for the facility, 2) make use of natural light and ventilation, and 3) build with materials and finishes that are light and durable but are cost-efficient.

1736 Bodega shall be a light storage warehouse that would integrate three main qualities; Space Efficiency (maximized storage and utility spaces), Flexibility (open for future expansion or redevelopment), and Logistic Mobility (ease of rotation and circulation of both personnel and products) to make it a simply programmed, yet a very effective dry good storage facility.

LOGISTIC MOBILITY

The use of the corner lot and the existing configuration of the building consists of retaining the garage on Mendoza Guazon Street and adding another garage to the other corner facing Remedios Street to facilitate a straightforward process of input and output of goods.

From RECEIPT to the STORAGE and SUPPORT SPACES where processing/handling of goods and their preparation take place to DISPATCH makes for an efficient storage warehouse. The current position of RECEIPT to DISPATCH may also be inverted as may be necessary, without sacrificing the zoning and circulation of spaces.
