The office space is located in the corner of a glass façade building which shows very attractive views of Mexico City. Therefore, the priority of the design was to ensure that all office users would have access to these views. As a result, the layout of the office was planned in an "L"-shaped distribution, with a meeting room at the vertex and 7 private offices distributed on its sides. Both the meeting room and private offices are contained by a "second façade" of glass that allows natural light to enter the central space.

 

The planned distribution proposed frees up a fairly large area in the center of the space where up to 16 people could work. In order to demarcate this area from its surrounding set of private offices, we integrated a lower wall that follows the "L" shape of the office and serves as the office archive. Behind this bifunctional element we placed a blue curtain which can be moved into different positions to allow more or less privacy according to the office needs. 

 

Challenging the typical work environment in Law firms, we wanted to create a space that is friendly to its users, promoting a calm, comfortable and horizontal environment for employees. The blue of the curtain, which corresponds with the office logo, was enhanced to highlight several details throughout the office such as the legs of the tables and the structure of the filing cabinets, giving the space a play of colourful accents without losing its corporate image. In this way, with simple elements and a clear design line, a very flexible project was proposed that allows and promotes coexistence among users during their different working activities.
