Concurso - Desall - Ferrero_Design the working break


What we are looking for
Ferrero invites the international community of Desall to suggest a new interior design project to furnish the rooms dedicated to the employees working on the production line, creating a space dedicated to relax, break and nourishing relationships among colleagues, where everyone may find the ideal place to refresh, relax and possibly have a snack before going back to work, with a project that may fully reflect the founding values of the group.

Guidelines
For the correct realisation of your proposals, keep into consideration the following guidelines:
Objective of the contest: your project shall include several furnishing elements and solutions able to adapt to the various dimensions of the relax rooms available inside the Ferrero facilities, in particular those rooms located next to the production lines, reserved to the line workers. The rooms shall contribute to improve the working environment, where every line worker might feel welcome and at ease, in a lively and cosy context.
Values to convey: the furnishing solution you are going to suggest shall reflect the Ferrero values and identity, that considers loyalty and trust, respect and responsibility, integrity and moderation, the founding values of the group. In addition, other very important values include passion for quality, research and innovation, that were embodied by a very successful entrepreneurial experience.
Project areas: even though there are numerous variants in the size and layout of the rooms, the
contest will take into consideration three main room typologies:
- Small room: maximum capacity 4 people, size 340 cm x 355 cm, height 300 cm, surface
area 12 m2
- Medium room: maximum capacity 8 people, size 370 cm x 670 cm, height 300 cm, surface
area 24.79 m2
- Large room: maximum capacity 12 people, size 440 cm x 770 cm, height 300 cm, surface
area 33.8 m2
Each room has at least two glass walls – one of which always facing the production line – and at
least one masonry wall. At your discretion you might evaluate whether to cover/coat/furnish the various walls as you prefer. Access to the room is provided through a door located on the glass wall facing the production line.
Given the great variety of the rooms available in the production site, keep into consideration that in
some cases rooms might exceed 300 cm height.
Room purpose: the rooms reserved to the Ferrero line workers will be mainly used for 10-15 minutes working breaks, during which every person will find the ideal place to relax, have some snacks, stay informed about contents and events concerning the company or to other contexts and to nourish relationships with the other colleagues.
Capacity: according to its size – small, medium, large – every room will have a capacity of 4, 8, 12
people respectively. The total number of line workers for each production unit amounts to about 50
people, who will take turns using the adjacent room for the working break throughout their working
shift.







Concurso - Ryterna - Modul Suburban HOUSE - RMSH2819


COMPETITION THEME: To design a modular house for family of four based on given description. In addition, family owns ~12ares (~1435 sq. yards) piece of land in Vilnius city suburbs (Lithuania). IMPORTANT: house must be based on modular construction.

Family description: Our project family is a family of 4. They are considered a middle class with skew to the upper class family, family’s income is 3000eur per month (36k EUR per year).
Peter - father 35 years old; Lisa - mother 34 years old; John - son, 7 years old and just started going to school, Alice - daughter aged 2,5 years old.

Family specifics:
Peter works as mid-level manager at one of international companies based in Lithuania, which operates in construction business, he is keen on active outdoors lifestyle (hiking, camping, bike riding, canoeing) as well as he is DIY person, so often he spends time working on DIY projects. He works from 8am until 5pm, after work, he usually stops by the gym or swimming pool for an hour if he has that possibility and there is no need to take care of the children. He would love to live as close to the nature as possible.
Lisa was stay-at-home mom, but now she runs her own business from home, meaning that seldom she invites her clients into her house for business meetings. She is the KEY person in the family; she takes care of everyone in the family and is the deciding person who has the last say in biggest, family evolving decisions (like house buying). She also enjoys active lifestyle, but would not like to live far outside of the city boundaries. Instead, she would pick a house in the city center at any time. If she would have some spare time, she would enjoy brushing up her skills in
handicrafts.
John is a first grader, extravert, hyperactive personality, who constantly tries to find boundaries of what, is possible and what is not. He actually enjoys going to school and is in the top of his class. However, he feels betrayed of his sister as she has much more attention than he does.
Alice is a calm introvert toddler, which is taken care by mother, she is very attached to her mom, and tries to be like she, meaning that she is constantly around mom, even in her business meetings (making business meeting a struggle for Lisa).

Family house location: as family couldn’t afford to buy land or house in the city center, but really wanted so, they bought land in city suburbs - ~20km to city center, their land is located approximately 15min drive from children garden and school. First, then they bought the land it was very close to nature, now land is in rapidly developing area, so nature is quickly shrinking around their land and neighboring houses a popping up quickly around them.
Peter is not so happy about it, but Lisa enjoys new company.

Family transport: 2 cars (hatchback – company car and 2015 middle class SUV – a leased car); one motorcycle (owned).

What are they are willing to spend: they are willing to spend around 72000Eur (bought with bank loan, evaluated at a rate of 300Eur per month for upcoming 20 years).

About the HOUSE: house can be arrange as you wish, number of rooms is unlimited, yet you should aim at the budget for the house. House can be designed as one or two stories high building. It can feature flat or sloping roof. Based on recent EU requirements, house has to be designed, as close to a passive house as possible, meaning that energy used by the house for its heating, cooling has to be as low as possible or at least come from renewable resource from the onsite renewable resource generators (for example – solar or wind energy).
