less buildings, more system
Reduced construction footprint, shared industrial infrastructure and optimised production flows through a compact operational strategy
Bottleneck identified
Traditional industrial growth tends to separate processes
into isolated buildings, increasing construction volume,
infrastructure duplication
and logistical inefficiencies
Business challenge
Multiple industrial activities planned independently
within the same site, generating
duplicated infrastructure, inefficient land occupation and
fragmented operational systems
Strategic approach
Organise the project as a compact shared system where production, logistics and technical infrastructure operate through
coordinated spaces and overlapping
operational networks
Implementation
analysing and overlapping
industrial requirements and
compressing shared infrastructures, flows and
programmes into a single coordinated system.
Outcome
A unified industrial ecosystem reducing built surface,
façade, structure and infrastructure requirements
while improving production flows,
operational speed and overall spatial efficiency
A logistics and biofermentation hub designed for Bioxytol, combining erythritol production, industrial processing and administrative headquarters within a single coordinated system.
The project challenges the typical industrial model where facilities grow independently, duplicating infrastructure, fragmenting workflows and consuming unnecessary land and resources.
By analysing the production requirements of each activity, we identified overlapping spatial, technical and logistical needs. Water supply, energy infrastructure, storage, waste management and circulation systems could all operate through shared networks rather than isolated buildings. This led to a compact organisational strategy that distinguishes between exclusive production areas and shared operational infrastructure, reducing built volume while improving efficiency.
Materiality reinforces this industrial logic through prefabricated concrete systems and earthy tones inspired by the surrounding Tierra de Barros landscape, connecting the facility to its local industrial and territorial context. The result is a business-driven industrial model focused on reducing construction costs, simplifying operations and increasing production capacity through spatial efficiency rather than expansion
