PROJECT DESCRIPTION : 

Dekko Garments Ltd is an industrial campus for readymade garments (RMG). This is a project where 6000 people are working at a time. It is situated in Gazipur, particularly at a green site surrounded by scenic landscape. One of our principle objective was to give comfort to the users i.e. garment workers and we focused on the environmental quality of the working sections. Passive techniques driven solutions and user-friendly features were therefore applied to achieve the best working environment per standard. We especially focused on the production unit of this project for our maximum innovative input. The garments unit includes designated store for raw material storage, Production Unit for cutting-sewing and finishing work, and Finish Goods Store for packaging and storing finished products. Besides these, there are Central Administration building, Central Amenities Unit for workers dining, day-care, health care, locker and prayer facilities. The Utility Unit is the central power house of the project having generators, power supply equipment and PV panels on its roof-system. Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) and Rain Water Harvesting Units are also there to save water.  

This is a two storied building with composite structure. The foundation, floor-system and columns are made of RCC. The roof-system and beams are designed by steel structure to achieve the desired expression that allows ample of light as well as reduce structural weight. Facades are made of local bricks and 6mm non tempered glass is used for glazing. Low emitting paint has been used for both walls and roof to reduce the heat. Window grills and railings are of Metal bars. Monolithic Floor Crete material is used in factory area and tiles is used for toilet and office zone.

The WAVE is a constructed representation of the surrounding landscape and the emerging manpower or the dedicated ‘APPAREL ARTISTS’. This is a building which is principally designed in passive manner. The natural daylight, air circulation and ventilation is achieved by architectural solution up to 40%.The building is saving 20% of its water consumption through Rain Water Harvesting and STP. 33% of energy is being saved by PV panels and natural ventilation. Roof has its own innovative support system by tetrahedron truss as beam. Central Ventilation Core has been designed for hot air dispatch, rain water and roof drained water storage and sequentially passing to the underground tanks for curing and recharge. And sky lights give the calculated day lighting in the Green Atrium.  The south facing façade is mostly open to natural ventilation and designed with vertical Fins and Wings to defuse direct air-flow and light necessary for production/ machine lines.
