Project: Taller S-AR (S-AR workshop)Architects: S-AR stación-ARquitectura www.stacion-arquitectura.com / www.s-ar.mxLocation: Monterrey, MexicoProject Team: César Guerrero , Ana Cecilia Garza, María Sevilla, Carlos Flores.Program: Architecture WorkshopClient: S-ARProject Area: 100 sqmProject Year: 2009Construction: 2010-2011Completion Date: 2011Photographs: Ana Cecilia Garza VillarrealTechnical drawing: S-AR stación-ARquitectura3D Drawings / Rendering: S-AR stación-ARquitectura Model: S-AR stación-ARquitectura Structural Engineering: Jesús González SáenzConstruction Site Supervisors: S-AR stación-ARquitectura + Gonzalo Taméz Building Contractor: Gonzalo Taméz Materials: Concrete, Steel and GlassConstructive
System: Concrete block walls, reinforced concrete walls, structure of
steel beams, slab made by metallic deck and concrete with losacero
systemEnclosure: Steel screens and clear tempered glass of 9 and 6 mmFinishings:
Apparent concrete block, apparent reinforced concrete, MDF wooden
doors, plaster finish, polished concrete floor and gravel pavements.Placed
on the back part of a terrain, a volume is partially buried leaving the
visual depth of the existing backyard free, becoming an extension of
it.This volume accommodates two working areas. A service module
that contains a bathroom, a storage room and a cleaning area divides
them. A manual skylight ventilates the module. A sequence of longitudinal skylights brings zenith natural light to the interior of the volume.The
interior space is related on its both ends with two yards. One is used
as the main access to the workshop with a stair made out of steel and
paving stone. The other is placed aside a meeting room in the back part
of the project providing light and crossed ventilation.One side of
the project is furnished, and the other one holds the models of the
projects developed in the workshop. So when walking through the space
one is flanked all the time with these projects. These models bases were
originally made with MDF wood. Now all the space is spread with this
material. Doors, furniture and worktables are made of this material,
generating a unitary language among the objects and the workshop
products.The perimeter structure consists on a retaining wall of
reinforced concrete with “U” shape. It holds an intern system of
concrete block walls and a metallic cover. Buried double walls in the
longitudinal side conform the drain system for rainwater. It also
drains the gain water of the adjacent terrain. The water is collected
in tanks placed under the patios and is used to irrigate the existing
vegetation.The nature of the materials was left exposed; witch
allows the clear observation of the constructive system from inside the
building.The ironwork was handmade, so are the handles and the locks
of the metallic frames of the glass doors. These are placed over the
ironwork fixed with structural adhesive tape and structural silicone
from the outside. This avoids the exposure of the iron, reducing its
maintenance.The access to the roof is made by a metallic sailor
stair witch make possible the maintenance of the climate machines placed
inside a recycled wooden box.Some old trees from the nearby
landscape invade the space of the workshop. The transparent skylights
and windows make a great connection with them. The disposition achieves
the shade of the trees and the neighbor’s wall reducing the use of air
conditioner. The architecture of the project is synthetic, reductive
on its elements, economic and honest in the materials. But at the same
time precise and elegant on its use and collocation.
