Government Center

The project is located in Acapulco, in the State of Guerrero. Acapulco's State Hall aims to integrate 37 government offices into one building. The program contemplates 25,000 m2 of office and support spaces and 30,000m2 of parking space.

The building attempts to embrace Acapulco's modernist architecture from the 1950s by superposing pure "box" elements. Each box becomes an administrative section, while their stacking generates different terraces that become waiting areas and circulation spaces.

The entire system is covered by one great ceiling that, by collecting water and being lined by solar cells, generates the building's energy. At the same time, this grand roof becomes a protective shelter from the elements: rain, wind and sun.

The piled boxes and their roof generate various shaded spaces that, along with generous vegetation, bring the offices and exterior spaces to a truly comfortable environment, reducing considerably the A/C consumption throughout the project.
