Set on one of the most-popular streets in Colonia Roma in Mexico City, Impact HUB Project is the transformation of the bank branch roof to a co-working space.
The concept comes from the idea of a movement node and person's interaction, such as a train station or airport. Thus, the architectural program is distributed in the central area - open station – People working as freelancers can make use for a period of the different isles of tables, that enable each user to choose what kind of interaction they want to have with other entrepreneurs. Keep on the analogy of the train station, we added to one side some private offices - containers - for entrepreneurial companies that require more privacy without losing the desire to share the space and certain facilities with other users. Each container was generated from a sliding white windows that allow any container to determine the connection with the public station.
Across there are a series of shared spaces, such as a reading station, which is displayed as an informal room where brainstorming meetings can occur, with furniture on wheels that allow the adaptation of the space. The meeting station is a formal space for private meetings. The cabins are for informal, short and personal meetings. The area of self-service coffee, relax and take a short break.
Regarding the materialness, the working areas established as the open station and the containers, are with precinct stone to give the space a sense of plaza, of public space. In contrast, the shared activities located over a white wooden platform which relates a viewing port to the rest of the space. The lighting was built with copper, apparently random points in space, it allows the furniture to be reconfigured again and again without losing functional relationship with the lamps.
The main gate and the lattice of the meeting station are made with copper, the behavior of this material allows the fingerprints directly to be absorbed by making it a visible registration of all the people who have gone through the HUB.
The facade announces the dynamism between the interior and the exterior. The vertical elements work as a lighting filter, and it goes disturbing its geometry in a numerical sequence, generating an optical illusion of movement. The Impact HUB is above a bank branch so the facade must be treated as a suspended coloured gable upon the original volume that falls in one side as a gesture to highlight the access.
The Impact HUB Project continues the Ludens´s exploration being closer to the architecture as an addition of flexible elements that allow the user to adapt and conquer the space in response to their particular needs. Taking every architectural element as an interaction tool and friction among space and space, between space and user and within user and user.
