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.
