OVERVIEW

The master plan for this site in Ghent has been developed around a ‘last mile hub’ concept for distribution within the urban core. The location is strategically positioned at the intersection of the E17 and E40, close to the city center of Ghent.

In the first phase, a fully automated and climate-controlled warehouse was built, specifically designed to meet the pharmaceutical requirements of McKesson, a leading healthcare company specializing in pharmaceutical distribution.

The offices are located above the loading docks and, thanks to a large north-facing glass façade, offer a panoramic view of the docks and the canal. This creates a pleasant work environment with abundant natural daylight and a strong connection to the surroundings.

The architecture is inspired by traditional signal boxes, resulting in a ‘concave’ design style that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces. The façade, finished with an exclusive copper coating, gives the building a unique and recognizable presence within the cityscape.
