Discover what makes it unique

This water purification and natural juice production plant in Playa del Carmen, Q.R., was designed with the core of the business—the production area—at its center. Around it, the program was organized as follows: to the north, raw materials; to the south, finished products; to the east, customer service and general offices; and to the west, the loading yard, which also serves as a buffer between the industrial facilities and a small residential area facing east.

Natural ventilation and daylight, admitted through latticework, transparent elements, and translucent surfaces, were thoughtfully integrated into the design, enhancing the areas most compatible with these feature
