A minimalist house is converted into an office in Mexico City 😮
Designing an office space as a stimulus for ideas, Archetonic added a façade of green woven plastic cables, colourfulFormerly a family home, this office design by Archetonic translates domestic elements into professional spaces for a creative approach to working.Mexico City-based architecture firm Archetonic has overhauled a minimalist family home into a workspace in a western city suburb.
To passers-by, the office’s minimal façade and residential backdrop suggest no trace of the building’s professional occupation. ‘The idea of generating a more cosy and homely working experience naturally and unwillingly comes from recycling a residential structure,’ explain the architects, ‘otherwise the result would have been a more conventional office solution.’
From the wide sliding doors that open up to a patio, to the steel girders overhead, and the small dipping pond, the office indeed breaks convention. Daylight abundantly drapes over dark marble flooring and light wooden wall fixtures in the entrance, producing an interior ambience more akin to a spa or hotel lobby than a reception.
‘We wanted the vegetation, outside garden and terraces to be part of a strong contemplative experience’ Design drama unfolds beyond the western wall, which slides to a reveal a proportionate meeting-cum-living space.
