The pandemic made the entire world question the way workspaces are typically built. Sometimes without considering the health benefits that natural ventilation and sunlight can bring.
These ventilation and lighting concepts, along with the belief that architecture should promote the maximum integration of the building and the environment, in order to diminish the impact it causes on nature, sets the design guidelines that we as a team have been working on for years.

The Salagnac Arquitectos Studio rises 1.80 meters from the ground, on steel stilts. This allows the building to adapt to the flood due of the proximity of a river that eventually can cause floods. The rest of its main structure consists on the same steel structural frame repeated along the building’s reticular geometry.
These geometric systems provide organization and logic to the design which leads to efficiency during construction.
All of this is hidden behind a series of timber sunshades that provide privacy without completely blocking the sun and, at the same time, ensure cross ventilation throughout the building.
On the roof, the solar panels that are connected directly to the main electrical system provide 100% of the electricity the building needs during the typical working day.

All the spaces have an immediate connection with the vegetation, warm materials and natural light; elements that result in a pleasant and healthy workspace that, in turn, activates all the senses and encourages creativity.
Facing the natural difficulties of the property and in the midst of a global sanitary crisis, the team seeks to establish an architectural language that applies bioclimatic strategies and energy efficient systems while offering a healthier, and more in touch with nature, way of developing working spaces and overall lifestyle.
