zoning
A truly functional design not only results in a building and building use with a maximum of suitability, it should also be possible to realize it in a manner as efficient as possible. Correspondingly, the mutual affection of spatial functionality, esthetics and construction techniques is quintessential to the work of cepezed. In an early stage of the design process already, programme sections are clustered according to function, complexity and relations and are accommodated in a clear and neutral main shape with rhythmic architectonics based on prefabricated components. Wherever possible, installations and complicated facilities such as sanitary cells, lifts and staircases are concentrated in separate zones or units. This sometimes generates the possibility of prefabricating them under optimum conditions elsewhere and installing them in their entirety. Thus, the construction process is simplified while the quality and functionality are raised. On a spatial level, the separate zones can bring about differentiation. The possibilities and restrictions of the location and the economic exploitation of the building are of course also taken into account during the designing and zoning. As for the exploitation, this can for instance mean that different sections of the building are allotted different types of climate and different degrees of climate control. This substantially saves on energy.
