C.C Arquitectos has developed the office design for a contemporary hydroponics facility in rural Guanajuato. The complex cultivates legions of leafy lettuces for Next Vegetales (a branch of the major Mexican agricultural exporters, Grupo Altex)

使用水培种植植物已经有几个世纪了，这种利用营养丰富的水(没有任何土壤)来照料作物的独特方法仍然在现代农业中得到了广泛的应用。在墨西哥中部León附近的瓜纳华托乡村，一个大型的新企业设施刚刚完工，其核心是由当地公司C.C ArquArchtos设计的一个现代化办公室。

为了促进不同部门之间的互动，这些办公室还提供从雇员办公桌到周围五公顷温室的直接视线，这些温室里有一排排绿叶莴苣，供下一次蔬菜故事国际出口。办公室员工和生产过程之间的视觉联系是非常重要的，C.C.ArquArchtos的曼努埃尔·塞万提斯说。这是一项旨在创造“共同工作与共同目标的集体经验”的发展。

该项目被数英里平坦的农田所隔离，不受建筑发展带来的环境限制，并允许在设计上具有极大的灵活性。这个项目通过一系列的低体积展开，通过室外通道和庭院连接起来，并在一个连续的混凝土屋面板下联合起来。

一系列的长方形形式-白色渲染的墙壁，平静的浅池塘，和长方形的地区地砖-定义了一种独特的建筑语言。商业建筑的中心是一个种植庭院，有凿成的石头座和自来水设施。在这里，整体屋顶板断裂，一个巨大的，直线天窗流阳光下的反射池。所有的东西都被仔细地放置好了，边缘排列起来，而白色的墙壁和灰色的天花板和地板并置增加了设计的定义。

现代化的办公室、会议室和工作人员设施围绕着中央庭院，彼此分离，但却被这个半开放的空间所统一。大量的釉面带来了丰富的自然照明，创造了良好的工作条件，并进一步突出了内外的联系。

除了主庭院外，这座建筑群还包括艺术家杰尼莫·哈格曼设计的第二个室外露台。它的特点是悬挂着南极仙人掌藤，覆盖着灰色的石头景观，所有这些都戏剧性地设置在明亮的黄色背景下。

In the centre of the five hectare scheme lies the modern concrete office building, housing 25 management staff that oversee production

The scheme is divided into blocks containing meeting rooms, desks and service space. Although detached and closed off behind strips of white walls, the different areas connect visually by the continuous roof and floor planes

The monolithic roof slab breaks open in the central courtyard, with a large rectilinear skylight streaming daylight down to the reflective pool below

The offices are light and airy, with a cool, minimalistic aesthetic. Views are concentrated towards the surrounding greenhouses, where lettuces are cultured using a nutrient enriched solution

Visual connections between the office workers and the production processes were highly important, says architect Manuel Cervantes

The main courtyard is also a key circulation space, connecting the different parts of the building and its different semi-enclosed pahtways

A second planted patio, landscaped by the artist Jerónimo Hagerman, offers a more secluded relaxation space with hanging vines and a vibrant yellow wall

The low, white profile of the office complex sits in harmony with the rows of greenhouses that surround it

Nature plays a major part in this design scheme, as the building was planned to encourage the organic growth of trees and to frame natural views. It also adopts regional materials and includes features that support the environmental sustainability
