World’s Most Sustainable Furniture Factory Design Is Once Again Of A Green Building In Norway The Plus

World’s most sustainable furniture factory design is once again of a green building in Norway The Plus. As Norway’s single largest investment in furniture in decades, 6,500m2 open production facility will double as a public 300-acre park. For hiking and camping while serving as a landmark aligned with the region’s mission to establish a green manufacturing industry. As the team states, The Plus will be the first industrial building in the Nordic region to achieve BREAM Outstanding. The highest environmental certification.

Designed to be ‘Paris Agreement-proof’ building, design is based on principles renewable and clean energy to match eco-friendly production. “(Vestre will be the world’s most sustainable furniture manufacturer). Building (The Plus) will be an important step in reaching this goal. By using (cutting-edge technology) and (Scandinavian) collaboration, we can produce faster and greener than ever. In that way we will ensure global competitiveness through our leadership in (environmentally-conscious) production.”  World’s most sustainable furniture factory design is once again of a green building in Norway.

The Plus is located in the village of Magnor. In the geographical midpoint between Vestre’s headquarter in Oslo and the company’s existing steel factory in Torsby, Sweden. The building is conceived as a radial array of four main production halls. The warehouse, the color factory, the wood factory and the assembly – that connect at the center.

Center of The Plus is the logistics office and exhibition center with direct connections to all four production halls. The central hub wraps around a public, circular courtyard where the latest outdoor furniture collections are exhibited with changing seasons. Outdoor plaza allows views for visitors and staff to experience the factory’s production processes in full transparency.

The Plus Will Employ Several Industry 4.0 Solutions

That The Plus will employ several Industry 4.0 solutions. Such as smart robots, self-driving trucks, and a tablet to manage the entire factory. Every machine is assigned one of Vestre’s 200 colors, which spill onto the floors and lead back into central roundabout. This colorful mapping of the machinery creates visual cues, that help guide and explain workflow of the Vestre production facility.

World’s most sustainable furniture factory design is once again of a green building in Norway. Allowing visitors to easily follow the production process as if touring a museum. On all four sides of the buildings, visitors and staff are invited to hike around the facility. And conclude on the green roof terrace, transforming the (furniture factory museum) into a campus in the woods.

On the rooftop, 1,200 photovoltaic panels are placed and angled according to optimal solar efficiency. Excess heat from the panels are connected to an ice-water system for cooling, heat and cold storage tanks. Heat pumps and energy wells as a storage support system. Overall, the system contributes to at least 90% lower energy demand than that of a similar conventional factory. World’s most sustainable furniture factory design is once again of a green building in Norway.

“With Vestre we have imagined a factory that is simultaneously front of house and back of house. The beauty of the factory is the clarity of its organization. Conceived as the intersection of a road and a production line it forms a large plus connecting everything to everything. The radical transparency invites visitors and hikers to enjoy the whole process of manufacturing. While providing the workers the thrill of working in the middle of the forest.”

苗栗客家文學園遊客中心將自然、與文化環境融合

苗栗客家文學園遊客中心回應自然與礦業記憶

20/03/2026

由客家聚落與礦業遺產形塑的場域,遊客中心成為觀看風景與閱讀地方文化的媒介。     此項目以融合自然環境與文化地景為核心,將苗栗在地的客家聚落記憶與礦業遺產視為共同生成的背景。客家文學園遊客中心不被設定為單一目的地,而是一種觀看與參與的媒介,透過建築引導視線、動線與停留,讓訪客得以融入日常活動與地方節奏。建築在此不主導敘事,而是成為連結風景、歷史與當代使用者之間的過渡層,讓地方文化以開放而持續的方式被感知。 遊客中心位於苗栗縣公館鎮客家文學園內,場地由當地聚落生活與礦業遺產共同塑造,形成一種獨特的 文化地景。建築坐落於後壟溪谷,視野延伸至群山與歷史礦坑之間,試圖在自然環境與地方記憶之間建立溫和的連結。         建築盡量減少空間體量,強調週邊環境,使其成為觀景的媒介,並將遊客融入當地活動。設計摒棄了對客家文化的傳統解讀,而是從更廣闊的尺度分析場地,並以兩條主軸線為主導,分別面向景觀和文化肌理。一條軸線與山巒和山谷平行,延伸至福德村,為遊客提供開闊的視野,同時巧妙地將他們引向聚落。另一條軸線沿著夏至的太陽路徑,連接歷史礦區與西北方向的未來文學博物館,成為地面層的主要交通流線。         建築由一座大屋頂與數個幾何量體組成,透過軸向配置引導視線與動線,同時回應場地尺度。其形態不追求象徵,而是順應地形與歷史脈絡,展現一種 在地回應式建築 的姿態,讓結構方向性成為觀看苗栗自然風景的媒介。       建築軸線透過景觀步道、連接室內空間的半室外走廊以及延伸回室外的過渡通道連接起來,使空氣、光線、風和現有生態環境自由流通。建築中心的屋頂下方是一個大跨距的半室外廣場,為公共活動和自發性活動創造了一個開放的聚集空間。橫跨廣場的三角桁架系統不僅體現了軸線的幾何關係,也克服了大跨距帶來的結構挑戰。
