Alcalá

The botanical garden surrounding this building inspired the overall design of its offices, which we developed in collaboration with CBRE.

The central idea was to bring the garden—its diversity of species and its black pebbles—into the building, fostering the physical and mental well-being that comes from connecting with nature.

We brought into the interior sinuous patterns that evoke the lines found in nature.

In addition, to bring natural vegetation and stone-like qualities into the space, we used materials, textures, and colors that evoke earth and natural environments: Mortex coating the walls with the texture of a slightly rough plaster; beige and reddish ceramic pieces cladding the bases of custom tables, evoking desert mountains; sand-colored Silestone countertops; and terracotta Dekton backsplashes, all adding an earthy warmth to the ensemble.

For acoustic conditioning, we used ECOcero panels, a material produced from recycled plastic bottles.
