Situated by the highway, the new logistics terminal for Mexamerik comprises a trailer terminal with adjacent workshops alongside an office building that rises high above the surrounding dry landscape benefiting from panoramic views. Considering the local climate of strong sunlight and high temperatures an exoskeleton of white steel offers large roof overhangs creating generous shadows. Spaces are positioned within the steel framework as free-standing compartments eliminating enclosed corridors and allowing for natural airflow all throughout the building. Roofed outdoor areas around the enclosed rooms serve as informal meeting and hot-desk zones expressing the open working culture of the company. • Photography models: Rodrigo Chapa
