Located at the edge of
a large tract of land north of the town of Herzogenaurach, Germany, the first
Adidas Outlet Store in Europe will mark an entrance to the headquarters for one
of the most well known companies in the world. Adi Dassler founded a shoe
making operation in this town near Nuremburg in 1933, a company whose name
became Adidas in 1946.
The outlet store is an emergent building type in Germany. The brief asked for a 5,000 square meter building composed of sales areas, storage, and offices, essentially that of an industrial warehouse facility.

Along with the building, 380 parking spaces were
required on a 2.2 hectare site. Adidas also asked for a building with a clear
“signal character”, one that would be both inexpensive and attractive. The
site, a kind of soft triangular shape, converges at a roundabout. The building
takes the shape of a near equalateral triangle in response to
the
site
configuration and as a more than coincidental reflection of the Adidas 3 stripe
logo. Dark gray metal panel surfaces wrap different program zones that at the
same time create an external identity for the building.
