About the project

The project emerged as an intervention in the company’s old warehouses with the purpose of generating a work space that would promote employee physical and mental wellbeing. The architectural program sought to enable new and better relationships and interactions through areas designed according to the collective and individual needs of each employee. Throughout the project, this required constant communication with all personnel, from management to maintenance.
The essential design was based on how to perceptively separate the staff operating within an office module. To this end, voids and green areas were created, which formed part of the route between zones. The exterior vegetation was adapted in street-facing canopies to créate a thermal buffer on the south and main façade, contained by a permeable skin of oxidized steel.
The renovation sought to give the staff a protagonista role within their new, endemic and natural environment. The finishes created an ethereal and monochromatic atmosphere, with semi-transparent metallic corridors and walls filled with integral shades. The social visibility and south façade were no impediment to achieving harmony and thermal comfort inside the new facilities.

Apaloosa estudio de arquitectura y Diseño

Over time, quality buildings have been built in Chiapas, with
healthy development of construction currents and techniques;
however, there is a problem with a lack of visibility. Historically,
as a province far from the country’s large production centers,
its frontier location means that its processes are unknown and
undocumented; instead, ideas built on prejudices emerge. Added
to this, its architectural production has not been accompanied by
discourse or documentary support that does it justice.
This has begun to change with the advent of a new generation
of architects and new communication tools. Apaloosa, the office
founded by Luis Armando Gómez Solorzano, belongs to that generation.
Better than anyone else, he understood the opportunities
offered by innovative technologies, to overthrow preconceived
ideas such as the need to build monumental architecture or the
need to migrate to large metropolitan centers to achieve a certain
degree of visibility.
