Loja Hagra: a showroom built around seven shipping containers

865.Loja Hagra · Retail and showroom · Parque Hubel, Olhão, Algarve · In design

The project

Retail and showroom for an irrigation and agricultural-technology supplier at Parque Hubel, Olhão. Seven shipping containers as enclosed exhibition rooms across two levels; architecture, plumbing and HVAC each taken to a full execution model in BIM.

What we were responsible for

Architecture and engineering under one design contract, from the concept to a full execution model: a two-storey showroom for an irrigation and agricultural-technology supplier. The palette is deliberately industrial — steel, concrete, oriented strand board, dark green corrugated steel — and seven shipping containers are set along the shop floor as enclosed exhibition rooms, one of them fitted as a meeting room. The upper level extends the display area and opens over the growing trays on the shop floor, which are seen from above. Architecture, plumbing and HVAC were each carried to their own execution model in BIM; structure, and the electrical, telecoms and fire-detection design, came from specialist engineers working to our coordination.

Who built it

WALLNUT was responsible for the design. No construction contract has been awarded — and the work can go to site with us, under a single contract.

What this does not include

Our commission is architecture and engineering, from the concept to the execution models, and the coordination between them. The existing industrial shell and its structure are the client’s and sit outside this commission. The products on display, their branding and the retail operation are the client’s own. There are also diagrams of the scheme, which are drawings and not views of the site.

Double-height showroom: shipping containers open along both sides, display plinths in oriented strand board carrying drones and hose reels, and a lit indoor-growing room closing the view at the far end.
The length of the shop floor, with the mezzanine grille overhead and the growing room at the end.
Four axonometric steps: shipping containers placed in the empty industrial shell, a steel frame inserted around them, the mezzanine deck laid over it, and the finished arrangement with containers on both levels.
How the two levels were built up inside an existing shed.
Two axonometrics side by side: on the left the ground floor, with racking, pallets and containers around the entrance; on the right the floor above, reached by a stair, with the mezzanine looking down over the level below.
The exhibition space floor by floor: ground floor on the left, the floor above on the right.
Looking into a shipping container through a portal lined in oriented strand board: inside, a meeting room with a wall screen, sofas around a low table and a kitchenette, against dark green corrugated steel.
One of the seven containers, fitted as a meeting room.
From the upper floor, over a steel mesh balustrade, looking down through the void onto the growing trays on the level below; shelving and screens line the wall alongside.
The void keeps the growing systems in view from the floor above.
