FM Industrial Warehouse / Emilio Alvarez Abouchard Arquitectura

The FM warehouse is an industrial facility adjacent to an existing steel foundry meant to grow in space. The building was designed according to what we consider the most important characteristics site-wise: its location next to the existing construction and its access from two streets (north and south). The street on the south is a commercial corridor for the city of Morelia, due to its importance, we decided to emplace the warehouse facing the north part of the site, in order to eventually design another type of building facing the main street. An open-air lane is placed on the west side of the terrain in order to take distance from the neighbour. The north-south lane material is a concrete cobblestone pavement that lets the rainwater drain into the earth.
