We installed the new building of this size in the only vacant part of the property that includes the first production plant. Eventually, other plots around it were also purchased, but at the time, the only option was its current location. Set in the 10 meter level difference, the building appears to have two floors from the road side, but features 6 floors in reality. The first four floors are used for production and storage, whereas the top two floors are reserved for offices. Storage is predominantly in the underground floor, production is in the middle section, whereas the auxiliary units are near the perimeter. The offices are near the outer wall and the central section features the atrium as the common area. Daylight, which production avoids, is highly demanded at the offices. Alluding to honey, honeycomb, and bees, the façades and the mass reflect this effect in an unexaggerated fashion.
