PAR project1

Palace Architects has been commissioned by Palace Engineering Services to establish the preliminary design of the surface buildings of the Lima Pumped storage scheme as part of the preliminary design of the scheme undertaken by the BKS-Palace consortium in association with WMH. The surface buildings consist of the Administration building and the Visitors Centre.

The proposed general approach for the preliminary design of the building work is to regroup the main surface buildings of the scheme around the visible part of the scheme. Therefore, the Administration Building and the Visitors’ Centre are located on both sides of the Main Access Tunnel (MAT) portal, making it the main feature of the overall layout.

The general composition, besides a common architectural theme, allows for optimized organization of access roads, security and functionality.

The same access road leads to the Visitors’ Centre, without security check and to the main security checkpoint, controlling all accesses to the Administration Building and the MAT. The proximity of the buildings shall also allow for sharing of equipments such as chillers plant, water treatment plant and drainage, cable routes to and from the underground facility.

Finally, the common architectural theme, while unifying the buildings of the scheme, is developed to ensure environmental integration, corporate identification and working environment quality.
