Article source: SPACE The corporate offices of American Standard are located at the Corporate Headquarters, Campus Coyoacán, Coyoacán Avenue, México City. With a land area of 1,500m2 the offices are conceived based on two central concepts which were fundamental for the development of the project. The first was to generate a showroom for its clients and the second, the corporate offices.  Image Courtesy © American Standard Courtesy

The materials that were used for this space were carefully selected in order to generate a neutral background that would look good during the different furniture shows.

Access to the offices consists of a spacious reception with a waiting area, coffee area and two meeting rooms for clients. From this space there is access to the showroom or the offices.

The offices also have men’s and women’s bathrooms. In these bathrooms it was sought to generate a homey touch that was different from those normally found in offices.
