Logistis and Production (Phase 1: 2003)
Multifunctional building (Phase 2: 2007)
Rothaus AG,
Rothaus (Germany)

The production area for different kinds of beers which is located in 1.000 m height above sea-level in the southern Black Forest was restructured and expanded due to a company expansion in the early 1990’s. The arrays for logistics and filling are arranged in 7.50 m high stories which are connected by vertical conveyors because of the limitations to the available building grounds. Both stories have at-grade entries according to the topographical conditions of the compound. With 11.0 x 11.0 m range the inserted ceiling is designed as a massive flat slab. Especially accentuated is the ca. 22.0 m broad roof structure made of filigree wood and steel elements to reduce the enclosed space as well as to underline the 100 m long building body. The air condition of the logistics center is completely covered in the buildings roof structure.
