Baykal Machinery Factory & Headquarters

The project rethinks the relationship between production and administration within a large-scale industrial facility. Rather than locating the office and visitor functions at the perimeter, they are placed at the centre of the factory, creating equal and direct access to every production area while establishing the administrative core as the organisational heart of the complex.

This central position created its own condition: the depth of the administrative block exceeded what façade glazing could reach, so daylight and natural ventilation were introduced through the roof instead, bringing natural light deep into the building while enhancing the quality of the working environment.

The resulting composition establishes a clear relationship between production, administration, and visitors, expressing an industrial architecture shaped by operational efficiency, environmental performance, and spatial clarity.
