ALEF Corporate
Firm
Type
To avoid demolition and the
transportation of the remains, ART Arquitectos worked in the renovation of a
functionalist building in the Cuauhtémoc district in Mexico City. The building used to be a
language school with 2 and 3 levels. For the new corporate offices, additions
were made to even the 3 levels needed for the company.
The building had originally
an L shape patio that was modified, to suit the new requirements, resulting in
two structures that generated two inside patios that give extra natural light
and ventilation to the interiors of the building. One of these patios has a
grand tree, which was already in the premises giving a luxurious shade; the
other has a relaxing fountain that runs on a round stone wall that ends in a
water mirror.
The L shape of the building
gives two facades that were modulated and covered with aluminum panels in two
colors: white and silver. These panels reflect the sun light avoiding the
warming and heat absorption on both facades. The windows have prominent wine
red color frames towards the exteriors and white in the interior receiving more
natural light without gaining temperature. The main facade has an entrance
frame that turns into a tunnel that leads straight into the reception and rounds
up with an art work of artists Carlos Marín.
Different managing
departments are located on the ground floor and first level. Also in the first
level there is a conference room with a view to both patios. The General
Direction is found on the third level, also an auditorium and a half roof
terrace with an architectonical canvas that also shares the view of the two
patios.
The ambiance is sober,
highlighting the corporate colors; art works has been included at the end of
the corridors to change the orthogonal direction. These panels have graphic art
and embossed text in the same materials and portrait the company’s philosophy
Installations are
state-of-the-art and ecology oriented technologies. The lighting is low consumption
and high efficiency, with presence and temperature sensors. There are also rain
collectors with filters for secondary use, water free urinals and natural
ventilation systems by convection around the patios, to minimize the use of air
conditioning, used exclusively for the closed areas.
Very few materials were
used, porcelain and wood for floors, paint and some wood covers for the walls,
sliding glass divisions with exposed mechanisms in stainless steel. The latest
generation office furniture was selected with LEED certification and upholstery
in red wine color leather. The lighting is warm achieved by compact
fluorescence low consumption lamps, for the working areas, Master Color for the
accent spots and halogen as filling.
