Responding to the operational and expansion requirements of a leading beverage manufacturer, Proposed Schweppes Facility Master Plan (FMP) in Willowvale, Harare is conceived as a strategic industrial development aimed at optimising production efficiency, logistics coordination, and long-term scalability.

The master plan is envisioned to reorganise and enhance the facility’s spatial framework by integrating production zones, warehousing, administrative functions, and circulation systems into a cohesive and high-performing industrial environment. The development prioritises operational flow, safety compliance, and brand presence while supporting long-term growth.

Design Inspiration

The architectural and planning concept draws inspiration from the dynamic nature of beverage production, fluid movement, precision, and continuous operation. The bold roof articulation reflects motion and energy, symbolising the production process while also serving practical environmental functions such as shading, weather protection, and drainage efficiency.

The integration of corporate colour accents reinforces Schweppes’ brand identity, ensuring the industrial facility maintains visual alignment with its corporate image. Clean structural lines and defined massing create a modern industrial aesthetic that communicates strength, reliability, and operational excellence.

Architectural Strategy

The master planning approach is structured around optimised workflow efficiency and controlled industrial zoning. The facility layout is proposed to clearly separate high-activity production areas from administrative and support functions while maintaining seamless operational connectivity.

The circulation system is carefully organised to ensure safe and efficient movement of heavy vehicles, delivery trucks, and internal transport routes without disrupting production continuity.
