The Industrial Revolution may have started in 1760 with the development of efficient manufacturing processes, but the need for structures to house even smarter and newer industries is driving an evolution in design and construction of efficient buildings.
As shed builders in Mount Gambier, we’re at the forefront of designing and constructing state-of-the-art industrial sheds that meet the highest standards of efficiency, durability and sustainability.
In this blog post, we'll explore how industrial sheds have evolved from simple storage structures to versatile, modern spaces that can contribute to your business’s success.
From Function to Form: The Changing Face of Industrial Sheds
Historically, industrial sheds have focused on function over form, with minimalistic designs producing stone, brick and wood, and then steel boxes with little in design or style. Predominantly large structures were used to shelter early, less efficient manufacturing processes, including labour-intensive environments.
The Rise of Human-Centric Design
Modern industrial environments are now large-scale, highly efficient, mass production processes that need seamlessly expandable spaces that allow fewer people to be more effective in operating that space.
In parallel, the ‘human space’ required is becoming more attractive, user-friendly and inviting to both personnel and visitors. Larger shared spaces for integrating ideas and activities allow improved engagement across the business and clients.
Combining Efficiency and Aesthetic Appeal
Developing designs that allow for expandability in operating spaces, be it a workshop floor or growing administrative functions, requires smart thinking at the concept stage right through to collaboration with architects and engineers. An industrial-scale structure doesn’t need to be an uninviting, boring square box representing limited ideas and vision.
The design of an industrial building needs to ensure operations can flow smoothly and safely for products and people without hindering the business’s future growth prospects. A structure without flexibility limits the business in the long run.
Your next industrial building can be a statement of pride that paves the way for future opportunities.
