Mexico City - Mexico

New reality in Broissin's corporate environment

Offices

Objective

A Mexican architecture and design studio, whose spectacular offices in Mexico City materialise the design principles that govern all its projects, the Broissin team aims to imagine and implement innovative solutions through projects that help their clients grow and transform.

Designed at a time of post-pandemic and profound changes, the Broissin Toreo offices respond to a new reality in the corporate sector, where traditional workspaces have given way to centres for collaboration and impromptu meetings, reserving more individual tasks for the home-office. A project born from the analysis of the functions and needs of its occupants, and not from pre-established and often obsolete schemes, in which Actiu has participated together with its partner in Mexico, Organitec.

Based on the experience of the Broissin team in its previous workspace, distributed over five floors and with collaboration areas open to between 6 and 8 people, the new offices are designed with the aim of combining collaborative work with individual work, which requires greater concentration.

"Although the old offices were efficient and fluid on a day-to-day basis, they were less so for tasks that occasionally required greater individual concentration," explained the studio, having worked for years with a workspace model based on the absence of fixed workstations.

Solution

Controlled work pods

Conceived at a time when most corporate projects opted for a mixed scheme between open space and closed offices for managers, the Broissin Toreo offices are committed to innovative solutions that ensure the habitability of the space. To this end, hot desk-type spaces have been completely eliminated and replaced by controlled work pods, ventilated and regulated with air quality meters, with separate areas for no more than 8 people to ensure that contact is reduced to that necessary between work teams.

Versatile and dynamic furniture

An APP designed by the studio itself allows employees to choose where they want to sit each day depending on the task to be carried out, promoting movement and versatility to which Actiu's furniture also contributes. From the warm and comfortable Noom 30 armchairs, for the more 'relaxed' meetings that take place in meeting and creativity points; to the Efit office chairs and stools. A modern design with advanced ergonomics, which favours postural changes and in some cases is combined with the versatile Power table, which is height-adjustable and is equipped with a support for videoconferences and online meetings.

Indoor-outdoor duality

The search for the duality between exterior and interior, within an interior space, is another of the aspects that characterise the project. "Most corporate buildings in Mexico lack outdoor spaces and are enclosed by glass facades that prevent direct outdoor ventilation," Broissin says. Their offices are no exception and, to mitigate this sensation, they have opted for a design where workers have the sensation of walking through an outdoor space and arriving at an indoor one every time they enter or leave a workspace.

Biophilia and natural well-being

To boost the team's well-being, in the circulation and casual meeting areas, the lighting is designed to reflect the outdoors, with light that decreases as the day progresses and recreates the natural course of the circadian cycle. In the centre of the space, an urban farm and shelves of hydroponics - a soil-less agriculture that uses mineral solutions to grow plants - add a sustainable, energetic and lively character to an office colonised by nature.
