Biomass Power Plant

A biomass thermal plant conceived as a piece of infrastructure that acknowledges its landscape. The volumetric strategy assembles the process programme into a compact silhouette, wrapped by a ventilated envelope of vertical ribs.

Circulation, service and technical spaces are consolidated on a linear spine, freeing the production hall as a single, top-lit volume readable from the surrounding valley.
