This corporate office is in one of the most avant-garde buildings located at the west of Mexico City, the challenge for Eskema Arquitectos was the client´s requirement an interior design project that strongly expressed the prestige of the brand and at the same time a certain air of informality. Another important topic was making the design of these offices different from the rest the firm has around the world and also to show that this are located in Mexico.
We imagined the community life of this building centered around two urban, yet private courtyards. BC 13 unfolds around these two defining spaces, ensuring organic connections to its neighboring buildings. The brick paved and planted courtyards offer opportunities of interaction. Both access staircases as well as all the apartments benefit from a visual link with these courtyards, provided by large loggias and sill-less windows.
CORE spearheaded a full historic building renovation and expansion for Arizona State University in Washington, DC. The 8-story, 32,000 SF building enables the university to consolidate its DC office, teaching, and event spaces.
The historic structure at 1800 Eye Street NW, which Arizona State University chose as its new home, was purportedly the first concrete and masonry residential building in DC. A major goal of the redevelopment was to maximize the building’s footprint, which posed several significant challenges. Large, bearing-masonry chimneys, that could not be removed without major structural work, took up valuable interior square footage, while a back courtyard further reduced the usable space on the small lot. The lower floors were at split-levels from the exterior sidewalk grade, impeding building accessibility. With approval by the Board of Zoning Adjustments to increase the FAR, the courtyard was in-filled for 100 percent lot use. By underpinning and excavating a new basement, the expanded design added roughly 3,600 SF of new space, allowing for necessary building utility and storage spaces. The ground floor was reconstructed to level with the sidewalk grade, while the remaining FAR square footage was used as a new story on the roof.
Composed of curved angles and surrounded by undulating balconies, New’R pays homage to Oscar Niemeyer as well as to the architecture of the 1970s French Riviera, (André Minangoy and Michel Marot’s “Marina Baie des Anges”, for example) and finally the hedonistic fantasy of Miami Beach! Sensual and multi-directional, the building is located at a pivotal point between the ‘Mail Picasso’ and the new neighbourhood currently being developed alongside the rail infrastructure. Framing and capturing the existing location, New’R embraces the site and forms a new landscape.
When Resalta changed its name from GGE, the company wanted to do more than redesign its brand. The management wanted to acknowledge its incredible growth and adopt a new brand identity to match it. For Resalta to attract top talent from the energy field, it needed workspaces that looked the part and its current offices weren’t up to the task.
One of Resalta’s main challenges to achieving strategic goals was the state of their workplace. They worked in a set of offices that was designed for several small businesses, not one company. There were two main sections, and getting from one to the other was time-consuming. There were separate entrances, and that created a natural rift in the company. Employees could not freely communicate, there were no large meeting rooms, no conference areas, and no common spaces for employees to gather and relax.

Magazzin is the operational headquarters of the Cooperativa Arcobaleno and the Orti Goriziani, located in the heart of Gorizia in a former stable.
The structure has been restored with an industrial character to make the building contemporary and suitable for the hosted functions.
The structural freedom in the plan has given the possibility to transform the existing building into a large open space designed to accommodate three operational functions:
• Coworking
• Exhibition space
• Vegetable sales area
The hierarchy of functions determined the character of the project and its physiognomy, turning needs into opportunities.
Our project is located in the middle of an old and compact urban area where historical buildings are lined up with the streets. We didn’t want to break this rhythm so we have also chosen to line up with the main street.
The shape of the building and its inclined façades respond to the wish of creating three articulated squares, more adapted to the neighborhood character, instead of a big square which, due to the scarce architectonic value of the adjacent buildings, we believe inappropriate.

Additionally the diagonal formed separations between the corridors and working zones was also inspired from the company’s own logo.
