MEZA ENGINEERING HEADQUARTERS: Setting soft thresholds to integrate spaces

​

Co-author: Vera Freire

​

In our design for the headquarters of a construction company, we embraced the irregular footprint of the existing building by incorporating soft curves, enhancing an industrial aesthetic that highlights concrete and steel as primary materials.

​

These curved elements facilitated spatial integration, seamlessly connecting areas with different functions. A pivotal feature was the decompression area positioned between the meeting room and access corridor, serving as both a transitional space and a communal gathering area.

​

Our aim was to create workspaces that promote focus, interaction, and a sense of comfort akin to being at home. We eagerly anticipate the opening of Meza Engineering's new headquarters, where these principles will come to life.
