Conwest Vantage Way

This dock-load warehouse building in the Tilbury industrial park was originally designed on spec to accommodate between one and six users, but during construction was leased-out to a single user for a last-mile distribution facility. Modifications were made ‘on the fly’ to accommodate the new user’s needs and achieve final occupancy for the tenant improvement concurrent with that of the shell building. Design features focused on breaking up the long front façade without inducing excessive costs, utilizing limited amounts of curtainwall glazing and perforated metal panels. Environmental considerations for the existing mature trees at the font of the site and the adjacent watercourse also had to be taken into account.
