The client wanted simple and practical offices for a top law firm in one of the main corporate buildings in the cityof Guadalajara. We had a rectangular space measuring approximately 210 m2 with two glass sides offering goodviews of the city.
The basic scheme was resolved with a main passageway and the inserting of a wooden ‘box’ inside a glass prism. This made the most of the available daylight and placed greater emphasis on the outdoor views tocreate an effect of depth and fluidity.
The large box with a maple wood lattice contains the offices’ service areas(kitchenette, bathroom, archive, site, etc.) its presence is even and silent, in contrast with the glass surfaces thatenshroud the productive areas clustered around the container.
The glass façade doubles up as a screen whoseappearance changes with the daylight during the course of the day, projecting an interesting set of shadows andinteracting continuously with office personnel.
A basic spectrum of materials was chosen, featuring wood, graniteand glass, and in the color theme, the gray scale, for both the interior décor and the furniture.
