All four production units are built with 21 m free-spanning, cross-laminated timber, creating flexible column free – space s.

Along the color and wood factory, the sloping roofs are extended to form a pathway for visitors and staff to hike up and down the building while observing the production processes inside.

Inside the factories, each wing has one alternating ceiling corner lifted to create inclined roofs that allow views into the production halls as well as the forest outside.

Exploring The Plus feels like moving through an archipelago of colorful islands where the experience and overview of the factory’s activities are unified. Like a flowchart, the entire interior is organized with the color of each machine overflowing to the floors. The layout enables an efficient, flexible, and transparent workflow between the manufacturing units and an intuitive visitor experience. The Plus is conceived as a radial array of four main production halls – a warehouse, color factory, wood factory, and the assembly – that connect at the center and generate the ‘plus’ shape at its intersection.
