About the
Project
The extension follows a highly rational industrial design approach, where architectural form is derived directly from operational requirements.
Existing and new buildings form a continuous production system, prioritizing efficiency, clarity, and adaptability. Rather than aiming for visual prominence, the architecture is deliberately restrained, expressing permanence, robustness, and process reliability—key values in food production facilities. The project treats architecture not as an object, but as infrastructure that supports industrial workflows.

The
Result
The new production wing is conceived as a low-rise, elongated volume, reinforcing horizontal production flows and minimizing vertical circulation. This configuration supports streamlined manufacturing processes and allows for future internal reconfiguration.
The expansion integrates seamlessly into the surrounding industrial fabric. Low building heights and horizontal volumes maintain coherence with the existing site and avoid visual dominance. The result is a calm, clearly structured industrial campus—internally optimized, externally understated.
The HUG Bakery extension exemplifies process-driven industrial architecture. Light management, logistics, spatial organization, and employee infrastructure are carefully coordinated to support efficient production and long-term operational stability.
Architecture as a precise tool for production—quiet, efficient, and durable.
