Commercial Showroom Ent Ext

The urban architectural milieu, in this image, can at the very least be characterised as an inadequate representation of the values that characterise our country. Consequently, the design concept for Entext’s building, as a leading company in the business sector it operates in, emerged from the need to create a world of its own within the chaotic urban matrix. This building reflects the very strength and courage, the willingness to turn towards ourselves, towards our own strengths, seeking the essence within. All the most valuable things require effort to be discovered. The very idea for this building is based on the complementarity of seeming opposites, interconnected and interdependent. This duality can be perceived in the name of the company: ENT-EXT, interior–exterior, where, from the moment you step in, you are no longer aware of whether you are in the interior or the exterior,

The environment opens up with two structures without clear boundaries that complement and permeate each other. The fluidity of the interior provides users with multipurpose areas, which can be easily adapted for the required purpose as needed. The main focal point in this interior–exterior is a green oasis, consisting of a green wall, a water surface and a sculptural element with a water wall, the combination of which creates a microclimate giving the overall atmosphere to the space. In contrast to the strict separation from the environment stands the overlapping of interior and exterior of the building itself. By entering inside a solid membrane the visitor encounters two objects without clear boundaries, mutually complementary and interconnected. Fluid interior allows users multifunctional spaces that can then be easily adapted to the required purpose. The emphasis in the interiorexterior is a green oasis consisting of a ''green wall'', reflectioning pool and sculptural element with a cascade of water, all of which creates a microclimate of the building, contributing to the atmosphere of the space.

The basic structure is a unique reinforced concrete prefabricated two-storey structure with annexes along the perimeter in terms of additional one-storey and two-storey elements (reinforced concrete prefabricated) and reinforced concrete stairs. The basic construction is in terms of assembly and production of concrete elements of prefabricated type and as such independently cancels all the negative effects of rheology of concrete at these lengths and can be performed without expansion joints. All façade openings are closed with aluminum joinery with thermal break. The facade walls are formed of 25cm layers (which are filled partly with reinforced concrete and partly with concrete blocks). Other layers that are added to the wall of 25cm are 5cm of thermal insulation layer, substructure for ceramic tiles type Floor Gress magnum industrial 120x300 thickness 6mm, as a finish. The use of ventilated facade as well as adding the natural elements of water and greenery shows careful approach towards the environment. Maintenance recommendations are mainly directed towards the green wall care (ex. watering), as well as the shallow water pool which must be cleaned.
