The design concept for the offices
is based on achieving a technological and modern atmosphere according to the
demands of the company over the coming decades. The task was based on designing
a fun space that represents a leading organization which is passionate about
what it does.
The
project is located in Santa Fe in Mexico City, and covers an
area of 7500m2.
The public floor is on
floor 7 (penthouse), containing the general reception, dining area, meeting
rooms, auditorium and waiting area. The purpose of this floor was to create a
warm and welcoming space for visitors.
Double-height spaces, warm materials and branding representative of the
company are the first contact that visitors have with the brand.
Offices are located on
floors 4 to 6. The point of departure for the design was the functional segmentation
of the floors by activity. In the first nucleus you can find meeting rooms,
phone booths, casual collisions and a kitchenette, which being high volume lend
privacy to the workspaces.
The operational area is in
a second nucleus, which revolves around a core of director’s offices with meeting
rooms providing for eye contact and natural lighting for all occupants. At the
center of each floor there are major casual collisions, which are themed and enjoy
natural light and spectacular views.
New ways of working and
technology go hand in hand with the solution for the spaces. This led to the solution
for the management areas consisting of shared cores which serve as a primary
cell which is directly linked to its various supporting cells.
The use of color is at the
heart of the design of the interior spaces; its use was intended to evoke
emotions, express personalities and to stimulate the association of
architecture with the brand.
Technology
is applied to the architecture as a means of making the user comfortable, with systems
such as electronic screens for the allocation of meeting rooms, lighting
control and automated blinds, automated air conditioning and sound masking to boost
productivity and the morale of users
