The office building of the FAN Courier regional hub in Cluj-Napoca — the body that most directly carries the network’s signature facade. With about 2,700 sqm on a B+G+2F regime, on Muncii Boulevard, it is the regional administrative seat for the north-west of the country and, at the same time, the second chapter of the hub series through which PPAE, together with FAN Courier, defined a recognisable architectural language.

Challenge

In this series, the office building is the element that carries the brand: it must be FAN’s recognisable face in each city, raised above the usual standard of a logistics site, and at the same time house the operational functions of a regional seat. In Cluj, the challenge was to refine the visual language defined in Brașov and adapt it to a plot with its own urban exposure, on the street, on Muncii Boulevard.

Solutions

The office volume is clad on three sides, on the 1st and 2nd floors, with a second envelope of perforated-sheet panels, fixed on a cantilevered metal structure and coloured in the FAN brand blue. The device filters the light, protects the glazed curtain wall and outlines a suspended volume, recognisable from the street, with the illuminated sign on the access facade. Inside, the building is treated above the standard of the logistics typology: an access foyer with reception, a raised technical floor, offices with glass walls and a conference room with movable partitions on the 2nd floor.

Result

For FAN Courier, a regional seat whose office building is also the company’s brand landmark in the Cluj urban landscape. For PPAE, the second chapter of the series that defined the architectural language of the FAN Courier regional hubs. The complete complex — sorting halls and annexes — is presented in the Industrial section.
