The individual technological objects of the municipal waste incinerator are arranged in a defined rectangular plan. The semi-transparent construction of the outer shell encloses various elements of the technologies in a simple cubic shape.
The theme of reusing waste in the spirit of sustainability was applied to the façade. Here, we propose used wooden planks that will serve as fuel for heat generation only after they become worn out and outdated. Other used wooden elements are installed also on the façade. This way, we are extending the life cycle of the building material in our concept and reducing the carbon footprint, of which the construction industry contributes up to 40%.
Entrances are defined on the façade by the addition of steel portals. These portals will be independent of the timber façade structure and will protect the structure against damage from impact by service vehicles or from fire.
The area of the industrial site is elevated by planting a plum tree avenue along the service road, referring to a typical local fruit product. The residential houses adjacent to the site are screened by a park with mature trees on the western side, which also improves the microclimate.
