The Rimac Campus production facility has been presented to the public. Located in Sveta Nedelja, the campus encompasses business, development, and production sectors, along with accompanying contents for visitors and employees. The building merges high technology with the natural environment, creating a dynamic space that embraces change and adapts to future development, with a focus on sustainability and the integration of technology, nature, and community.
The production facility covers an area of over 75,000 square meters. The rapid execution is ensured by industrial building technology, which involves a combination of prefabricated reinforced concrete and steel elements. Departments are designed as individual "houses within a house," with a height of 6 meters, and a space in between for installations. At the intersection of the main axes, there is a central atrium and an expanded communication area with a large kitchen and common dining hall, serving as a gathering and social space. The introduction of the atrium allows for natural lighting and fresh air, providing a more pleasant microclimate and atmosphere in the building's interior.
The main design element is a continuous cladding made of profiled sheet metal, with a total length of one kilometer. Aluminum was chosen for the cladding because it is lightweight and easy to assemble on the facade, allowing for adaptation to curvature at the corners. At the same time, it ensures the reflection and dematerialization of the massive production volume, introducing the theme of new monumentality and the relationship to space.
