The Metropolitan Industrial Park is a high-efficiency logistics and warehousing facility located in the rapidly expanding metropolitan area of Barranquilla, Colombia. Conceived for a private industrial developer, the project
responds to the region’s growing demand for modern distribution centers and optimized supply-chain infrastructure.
The building features a large-format warehouse with multiple loading docks for simultaneous truck operations, wide maneuvering areas, and a highly functional circulation layout that ensures uninterrupted logistics
workflows. The architectural language is defined by clean industrial lines, a modular structural grid, and high-performance façade materials suitable for tropical coastal climates.
A two-story administrative and operational office block anchors the public-facing side of the complex, providing workspaces, meeting rooms, and staff amenities with panoramic views toward the logistics yard. Natural
lighting, large spans, and flexible internal zoning contribute to long-term adaptability for future tenants or industrial uses.
Designed through BIM methodologies and oriented toward efficiency, durability, and safety, the Metropolitan Industrial Park stands as a new standard for industrial development in the Barranquilla region.
The planning phase began with a functional analysis of logistics flows, truck movements, and loading operations. DR22 configured the warehouse footprint and access routes to optimize inbound and outbound processes
while minimizing crossing paths and operational delays.
Using BIM coordination, the design team modeled structural systems, roof modules, ventilation strategies, and truck docking geometry with millimetric precision. The façade and roofing systems were selected for thermal
performance and corrosion resistance, given the region’s humid and saline environment.
Landscaping and green buffers surround the perimeter, enhancing environmental comfort and contributing to heat mitigation. The result is a robust industrial facility ready to accommodate regional logistics growth and
future large-scale operations.
