LC1220

The building was designed by Heembouw Architecten and realised by Heembouw. LC1220 comprises a 23,563 m² logistics hall, a 2,385 m² mezzanine and 1,717 m² of office space. The building’s efficient layout allows the property to be used flexibly and adapted for multiple tenants. Vortex Logistics will ultimately occupy the logistics building as a tenant.

Sustainability played a central role in the development. Through conscious choices in the design and building systems, including energy-efficient systems, PV panels and climate-adaptive measures such as green façades and roofs, the building achieved the BREEAM Excellent label achieved.

One particular challenge was the limited availability of electricity in Gouda due to grid congestion. In close collaboration with the partners involved, a technical solution was implemented, comprising both a temporary and a permanent energy concept. This has ensured LC1220 is future-ready and connected for use within the current and future energy infrastructure.

The architectural design is defined by a gold-colored band that connects the different sides of the building and marks the office volumes. The surrounding grounds have been landscaped to be as green as possible, contributing to a pleasant and sustainable working environment.
