Functional Schwarzmann X® fabric structure for Growth and Storage

Warehouse Facility X® Simark with insulated facade and large access doors

Warehouse Facility X® with insulated facade

For the Austrian company Simark GmbH, a specialist in road and safety markings, we designed and implemented a modern Schwarzmann X® type of industrial building. This project was specifically engineered to meet the client’s requirements for increased storage capacity, flexible utilization, and optimized spatial organization.

The Investor’s Challenge

Previously, Simark operated out of an existing facility that combined office space with limited warehousing. Due to the seasonal nature of their business—which is highly dependent on weather conditions—the company faced a growing need for larger material reserves and improved logistical readiness ahead of peak periods.

The goal of the project was to create a facility that enables:

increased storage capacity, a clear separation of functional areas, the flexibility for future adaptations or the potential to lease out portions of the space.

The Solution: Schwarzmann X® fabric structure building with a Mono-Pitch Roof

Working closely with the investor, we defined the dimensions and conceptual framework for a Schwarzmann X® type building with a mono-pitch roof, finished with high-quality insulated facade panels. The facility was designed as a cost-effective, energy-efficient, and architecturally sophisticated solution.

The new hall is divided into three distinct units; two units dedicated to material storage and one unit reserved for future requirements or potential leasing.

This layout ensures a high degree of flexibility and secures the long-term value of the investment.

Focus on Load-Bearing Capacity and Organization

A key feature of the facility is the integration of specialized racking systems and partition walls, which maximizes efficiency of the available space.

Technical Specifications:

  • Load capacity of 1.3 tons per pallet space,
  • Total load capacity of up to 5.2 tons per rack,
  • Clear structuring of storage zones.

This configuration ensures safe, organized, and efficient storage, even when handling heavy industrial loads.

Accessibility and Functionality

The facility is equipped with:

  • 9 sectional doors for seamless vehicle access,
  • 3 personnel entrances to ensure a separate and safe flow of employees.

This design enables rapid access to materials—a critical factor during the peak season when operational windows are limited by tight weather constraints.

The Outcome

With the completion of the new hall, Simark has achieved:

  • enhanced operational efficiency,
  • the capability for year-round material storage,
  • and built-in flexibility for future growth or subletting

This project represents a sophisticated fusion of functionality, structural integrity and adaptability.
