The project is located within the Baosteel plant, with the cold rolling workshop of Baori Auto Steel Plant to the south. The project site was originally used for two production annexes - substation and air pressure station. In order to improve production efficiency, the factory wanted to centralize the control system of the production line and build a new intelligent control center in the open space between the two ancillary buildings. In the design process, the new building volume will be two annexes into one, forming a magnificent new building. Due to the structural problems of the air pressure station, the new building needs to consider the corresponding structural reinforcement, and the second floor of the eastern substation is partially renovated to increase the rest space required by the staff for 24-hour shifts, creating a warm working environment.
