Based on a program designed in conjunction with the client – Select Sound, a consumer electronics company – MAYER HASBANI manages to transform a 320 m2 monospace into different environments; these manage to transfer the aesthetic language of the sound products to the architectural space through recycling and a careful selection of textures. To access the offices, a tunnel of infinite lateral depth sets the tone of the new plastic language; combining light beams and double-glazing space is multiplied, while the ceiling is dressed in naked speakers that project the personality of Select Sound.
Inside, the reception becomes the focal point, where at the top, the same surface of the reception is subtracted to resemble a dome covered with metal mesh and indirect lighting that provides an articulating hierarchy to the space. On the right side is the boardroom, which doubles its functionality as a showroom with a glass shelf highlighted with precise lighting to display the client’s products. With a change of materials, we glimpse the executive spaces where floors, walls and ceilings are clad in wood to maintain a visual fluidity and depth that is emphasized using low walls topped with mirrors and glass. The changes in height give hierarchy to the different spaces.
Thus, as we move forward, the space opens up to make room for the free workspace; here, the height grows to its maximum expression, always keeping the services hidden. On the inner side, a red frame underlines other private office space through glass drawn with equalizing images to give privacy to the interior.
Thus, MAYER HASBANI achieves a new spatiality and materiality through a coherent relationship between the existing architecture and the interior design, where spaces and materials flow in a continuity that multiplies the areas. Finally, the intervention creates environments full of details that invite the user to a new and sophisticated way of working.

The CON Alimentos project is organized through a circulation that, as a backbone, organizes the flow of personnel, work and communications.
This line connects the access with all the work areas until reaching the address; it is also supported with meeting areas, focused work, and phonebooths.
The project defines the work areas – open space – with functional and technical lighting and furniture while allowing the circulation and meeting areas to have more intimate and sensorial environments.
This division of uses is highlighted with the different use of materials; In the central corridor, the plafond is made of wood, and the walls are made of marble and glass, while in the work area the slab is apparently painted in white, and the beams are used to give indirect light to the spaces. The management offices were located in the center of the plant, leaving the windows and access to natural light free for the enjoyment of all users.

Located in one of the most privileged corners of Mexico City, at the vertex that integrates Reforma, Circuito Interior and Mariano Escobedo avenues, this symbolic mixed-use tower redefines Paseo de la Reforma.
Chapultepec Uno has 58 mixed-use floors, 28,000m2 of profitable office area, a world-class luxury hotel, residences and a commercial area on the ground floor. Its beautiful view of the Chapultepec Forest and Castel, as well as its luxurious approach, capture de most exclusive tenants. In addition, it has de LEED Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
The creation of relaxed atmospheres was sought in all areas of the complex, leaving formalisms aside and taking up some of the millennial generation’s aesthetic proposals, such as the presence of authentic and naturally worn-out elements. Thinking about the importance of different visual and technological tools in contemporary work, on the other hand, spaces such as the video conference room have a wall talker for the exhibition of ideas, among other elements designed to promote creativity.
The design of projects such as IOS OFFICES comes from a deep understanding of the new dynamics of corporate work, which include more and more tools of dialogue and collaboration between different parties. The adaptive structure of each of the spaces in the complex is an invitation to creativity and innovation, increasingly elementary tools in modern corporate work.

Located in Monterrey, Nuevo León. the complex has traditional workspaces, such as open and closed corporate offices, boardrooms and videoconference rooms. However, and considering the importance of collaboration for creativity and innovation in the workplace, IOS Offices Arboledas emphasizes the idea of coworking with small, open and permeable spaces. In a commitment to the value of interaction and entertainment in contemporary work dynamics, the complex has a large terrace and a café-bar, as well as a business lounge that connects levels 3 and 4 through a wide staircase with multiple seats and breaks, public areas that have been designed for relaxation and recreation as well as coworking.
Each one of the IOS Offices Arboledas spaces has been designed according to the dynamics it houses. The corporate offices, finally, are projected with glass and black partition divisions to generate spacious and easy-to-read spaces. The furniture of each area has also been selected according to its needs, resulting in heterogeneous environments with textures that vary from marble to wood and that interact with different colors and textures.

The architectonic and interior design project of five thousand squared meters (5000 m2) is the result of the collaboration between Interior Architects (IA) and Mayer Hasbani (MH). The project was thought out to be a luxurious space, which would echo the success of the largest fiscal and legal services firm in the world. In order to achieve this, the project was divided into two organizational areas: a public and a private. The former is a conference center that occupies a fourth part of the floor and the latter on the first and second floor.
The structural element of Torre Virreyes, —the steel braces that carry the structure—, intersect the windows to allow for the viewing of the scale of the construction. This structure is part of the interior design of the project, instead of obstructing the pristine vision, is an important part of the geometric play between the structural brutality and the harmony of the interior proportions.
The project is developed in two levels that are articulated by a sculptural staircase of double height that flanks a wall covered by Travertino Silver local marble. Even though, B&M is an international firm, the architecture through the materials used sought to engrain itself with the local in order to create a better connection with the clients and context.
In the workspace areas the furnishing rhythms allow for longer perspectives and continuous views of the city, with which the greatest amount of light in the interiors is gained: the design, conclusively, gets a balance between privacy and transparency.

CBC is located in Torre Virreyes, at the west end of Mexico City, it is a thousand squared meters project (1000 m2) in narrow and elongated proportions space which directly articulates with the elevator nuclei of the tower. This communicating vessel situation allowed to trace in the design an exit of the elevators directly towards the entrance threshold of the offices.
The architectural and geometric development of the project began from tracing the two main axes which state the duality of the project. This axis is born from the drawing of the floor diagonals, that is from corner to corner in order to convert them into circulation and thus take advantage of the maximum distance that can be traced within a polygon: its hypotenuse.
The axes intersect in a symbolic crossroad which functions as a panopticon in which the user can understand the whole office, architectonically and functionally. This aspect was worked to pass from the symbol to the function marking the design through a luminous panel on the ceiling which is symmetrically reflected on the circulation hallways with a change in materials, that is the same practical and esthetic path is done on the floor and ceiling, as if it were two identical containing lids. This practical exercise forms a contrast game that allows to dance between the whole architectonic project, it breaks the monotony of a floor free of offices to give rise to plastic geometries that host different spaces. The waiting areas or public spaces change material to provide a different sensation while the circulation ribbon interweaves the rest of the areas.
