location
The new IKEA store is situated at the head of business park, Hessenpoort in Zwolle, and is visible from the highway, the A28. The business park is characterized by a high quality in appearance regarding its buildings and its immediate surroundings.
The architectural concept consists of one compact shopping volume of 120 x 120 meters enclosed by a continuous blue building skin unifying the outside of the IKEA complex in one building.
The building skin has either a closed, fully open or perforated facade. Where there is an opening in the building skin, the materials can be seen which conceal the program behind it formed by for instance the windows of the restaurant and the entrance area or on the other side of the building the doors of the loading bay. Alternatively, the the parking garage has a perforated building skin which satisfies the safety regulations concerning venlilation.
assignment
The design concerns a building for a new IKEA store located in the Hessenpoort business park. The new store has a floor area of 30.000m² and a parking garage for approx. 1000 parking places. The new IKEA store forms a pilot store incorporating a new type of layout of the IKEA shopping concept and furthermore it is the most grandscale sustainable IKEA store of the Netherlands.
design
Through a close collaboration with IKEA Sweden, a shopping store is developed in which the construction process is optimized and the building costs are reduced. The sustainability aspect of the building is reinforced by innovative solutions as the building makes use of geo thermal storage and regenerated heat. The building fully consists of LED lighting. On the roof are placed 5500 solar panels and 9 wind mills generating renewable energy. The province of Overijssel is supporting the sustainable initiatives of the project.
In addition there has been a close collaboration with landschapsbureau BDPkhandekar. The point of departure for placing the building within its provincial context comes out of positioning a collonade of trees alongside the entrance area and by extending the water channels into this green zone. Two bastions mark the entrance of the terrain. The transition space to the surrounding private terrain is executed by the use of waterways, ramps and rockfilled steel mesh fences. The existing monumental oak is harmoniously taken into the landscape design.
