Fruitière in Boëge: design of an industrial building for cheese production

An industrial food processing building successfully integrated into the landscape

The fruitière de Boëge consists of two industrial buildings for the production, maturing and sale of cheese products. As the integration of the project into the landscape was an essential aspect of the design, the general architecture of the structure departs from industrial building standards, here giving the illusion of five adjoining houses.  

ING2K studied this specific field of activity with a view to proposing a layout that met the client's functional requirements and the sanitary rules inherent in food production. 

The choice of coatings, respect for the "forward motion" principle, control of the cold chain, hygrometry and ventilation: all these parameters have been taken into consideration to create the hygienic conditions essential to the delicate processing of milk.

A part of the building dedicated to ripening is designed to receive the public, as it houses a short-distance sales outlet. Consumers are invited to buy the different varieties on offer direct from the manufacturer, then go upstairs to watch the cheese maturing process from a glassed-in mezzanine.
