Rzero: Cdle Offices

In a 20th century building in Mexico City, Rzero designed the offices for three different clients following the concept of “create without constructing”.

Rzero intervention for this Mexican historic building responds to the requirements of three different clients, flexible spaces and a wide visual range of all the area, which wants to give each client a feeling of appropriation of space giving a special importance to the main entrance plaza.

The idea behind the project – create without constructing – rules over any formal representation of itself. The clarity of the concept is mainly what determines the potential behind a project that is visually attractive, going beyond any physical elements which make the project a reality.

Since the first sketches, the architects were searching to generate solid blocks with voids, in other words, positive and negative between spaces; the arrangement of these blocks and its height is based on the central plaza.

The building interior has plenty of different textures in every area: textures that only time can generate and will not be hidden. The garden with its ashes is mainly contemplative, its sober colors and textures contrast directly with the raw red of the bricks that surround it.
