About Bradco Tehasehoone

Bradco on tööstushoone, mis on projekteeritud kellarihmade ja luksuslike nahktoodete tootmiseks Castelo de Paivas, Portugalis. Tehas on kavandatud loomuliku valguse ümber. Katusele paigutati mitmed valgusluugid, et tootmisala püsiks töötajate jaoks valgusküllane. Hoone välisviimistluses kasutati piirkonnast pärit kivi koos klaasi ja terasega, et siduda hoone selle asukohaga. Suured klaaspinnad loovad läbipaistvuse sisemuse ja ümbritseva maastiku vahel. Projekt viidi ellu aastatel 2019–2020.
