The project involved designing a space for the administrative, design, and sales departments of a natural cosmetics company run by women.

The property is in a low-density residential neighborhood dominated by low-rise single-family homes and small-scale businesses such as shops and services.

The brief, in addition to meeting the functional requirements of a small office, called for creating warm and luminous spaces that reflected the brand's natural and ecological vision.

The initial idea was based on a flexible space that could adapt to different uses or ways of working: individual workstations, photo shoots, simultaneous meetings, group work sessions, etc. To achieve this, the overall design proposes organizing the space around a central double-height area that captures light and enhances the visual connection with the garden, while simultaneously maintaining its interior character; warmth was the concept that the project aimed to materialize. On the other hand, as both a challenge and a necessity, the security of the office and its occupants had to be addressed. Therefore, in contrast to the interior configuration, the project presents itself to the public space as a low-profile, simple, and enclosed structure. It draws on concepts applied in ancient cities, such as Islamic cities, Spanish cities, and colonial cities in Latin America, where continuous, enclosed facades homogenize the public sphere and safeguard, like a treasure, the diverse and heterogeneous privacy.

While the project adheres to the regulatory requirements for detached housing, which guarantee habitability, lighting, ventilation, and thermal and sanitary comfort, it attempts, through simple means, to create a visual boundary and a green space from the public realm, allowing for complete freedom of expression, relaxation, and cordiality within the interior.

The materials and finishes also align with the idea of ​​protecting a warm and natural intimacy and expressing a rather austere simplicity to the surrounding environment. Wood was chosen as the predominant interior cladding. The selection of the species was key to achieving a lightweight, long-lasting, and relatively easy-to-maintain floorboard system.

The integration of landscape design was also crucial to the proposal. The interior warmth had to be directly connected to and enhanced by a nearby, natural, abundant, and stimulating garden, featuring low-maintenance species selected for the local climate.
