ABSA Center of distribution is part of the electric Mexican company ABSA’s new headquarters, which includes a Storage Building, Sales Building, and a future Executive Sales Building to be built in 2020. CEDIS was built in the industrial zone in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco.
The materials used in the project are cement blocks, black steel, concrete and crystal. All together, give an industrial sensation that contrasts with the wooden furniture and the warm light from the sun, and produces a tranquil and harmonic environment ideal for the workers.
Through the northern façade as you enter, you encounter a path with a specific landscaping including trees and bushes to refresh the air and act as noise isolators from the busy environment and the heat, which in Guadalajara can reach 95º F (35º C) in spring.
In the industrial field in Mexico, space and architecture are usually ignored and seldom cared for. This project defines and takes advantage of the circumstances of the place to make space for different things to happen inside the workplace. Terraces, views, vegetation, natural light and crossed ventilation in one of the most deteriorated neighborhoods of the city.
