34 Used software: ESA-Prima Win • Total steel weight: ± 900 tons • Building period: 2008 • Dimensions: Height: +/- 21 m • Overall length: +/- 104 m • Overall width: +/- 31 m Along the high way E313 in Herentals an Office and Designpark had to be designed and built for Drisag. The building consists of three floors of 7 meters which have their proper function and which are connected together in one entity. The first floor of concrete is intended for the production and a ‘cash and carry’. The middle transparent floor, with a big flight of stairs of 7 meters, which can even be used as a presentation stand, acts as showroom. The third floor consists of 2 office buildings in red brick on each side, between them an outdoor sports complex and a roof garden with a tennis court. The see-through layer is build up with V-shaped white frames. The spans of 14,40 m with a minimum construction height of 400 mm were reached by using a combination of concrete floors with compact shaped steel beams. The detailing of the frames was an important aspect in the structure. An invisible connection of the bracings of the frames at the floor beams cross a challenge. To support the high glass walls, minimalistic horizontal steel boxes with a Office buildings for Drisag Along the high way E313 in Herentals an ‘Office and Designpark’ had to be designed and built for Drisag. Finding the balance between a low cost structure and taking into account the severe restrictions was a high creative demand in the static layout and the dimensioning of the structure The remarkable building consists of three floors of 7 meters which have their proper function and which are connected together in one entity. The first floor in concrete is intended for the production and a ‘cash and carry’. The middle transparent floor, with a big flight of stairs of 7 meters, possibly to be used as a presentation stand, acts as showroom.
