About Bradco Osnovna funkcija: Tovarniška stavba

Besedilo knjige: Bradco je industrijska stavba, zasnovana za proizvodnjo ur in luksuznih usnjenih izdelkov v kraju Castelo de Paiva na Portugalskem. Tovarna je zasnovana okoli naravne svetlobe. Na strehi je nameščenih več strešnih oken, da proizvodni prostor ostaja svetel za zaposlene. Na zunanjosti je bil uporabljen kamen iz regije, skupaj s steklom in jeklom, da bi stavbo povezali z njenim ozemljem. Velike zastekljene površine ustvarjajo transparentnost med notranjostjo in okoliško krajino. Projekt je bil izveden med letoma 2019 in 2020.
