Introduction
Located within an industrial plant dedicated to cardboard production in Lopez Mateos City, Mexico, the CCI Offices project was conceived by architects Oioioi and Taller MRD. Designed to facilitate collaboration, design activities, meetings, and presentations, this pavilion offers a unique workspace within an industrial setting.
Introspective Design Approach
The pavilion’s design is characterized by an introspective approach, providing users with intimate spaces while remaining respectful and harmonious with its industrial context. Despite being nestled within an industrial environment, the design fosters a sense of tranquility and connection with nature.
Creating a Green Oasis
Designed as a small oasis or lung within the industrial plant, the CCI Offices promote protection from visual and acoustic pollution. The incorporation of green areas and controlled spaces within its patios enhances the overall work experience, offering a refreshing environment for employees.
Permeable Design and Materiality
The pavilion’s design features an “I” shape, with opaque areas at the ends and transparent spaces at the center, allowing for seamless permeability from one side to the other. Its materiality, including natural-tone brick, wood, and metallic structures, adds to its industrial aesthetic while ensuring functionality and durability.
Encouraging Growth and Creativity
With its thoughtful design and integration of natural elements, the CCI Offices serve as more than just a workspace; they inspire thought, creativity, and personal and professional growth. By providing a conducive environment for collaboration and innovation, this project contributes to the advancement of the industrial complex and the well-being of its occupants.
