RODMAR Offices in Cancún is conceived as a contemporary corporate space that balances transparency, warmth, and efficiency. The design articulates a clear contrast between light and dark surfaces, where white planes and glass elements emphasize brightness, while wood and dark textured panels provide intimacy and gravitas. The overall spatial narrative promotes an image of solidity and reliability, aligned with the corporate identity, yet remains flexible and open to future changes in workplace dynamics.
The project organizes the offices as a sequence of open workstations, private offices, and collaborative areas, visually connected through continuous ceilings and longitudinal furniture lines. This continuity reinforces teamwork and visual permeability while preserving acoustic control and privacy where required. The identity wall with the illuminated logo acts as a focal point, marking the transition from reception to the main operative area.
The layout is based on a clear axial circulation that runs parallel to the main work cluster. Open-plan benching systems accommodate multiple workstations, allowing for easy reconfiguration and growth. Private offices and meeting rooms are placed along the perimeter or behind glazed partitions, ensuring natural light penetration deep into the floor plate.
Curved partitions in dark finishes soften corners and help articulate transitions between public and semi-private zones. This gesture avoids rigid corridors and instead creates fluid movement and subtle visual expansions. The large boardroom is positioned as a terminal space along the main axis, with full-height glazing that reinforces its importance and allows controlled visual connection to adjacent areas.
The material palette combines warm wood veneers, light marble-effect flooring, and dark textured wall finishes. Wood surfaces are used in cabinetry, wall cladding, and desk planes, adding a tactile, human scale to the corporate environment. These wooden planes are frequently framed by thin metallic profiles, providing rhythm and precision to the elevations.
Floors in light-toned stone or porcelain increase reflectance and contribute to a luminous, airy atmosphere, which is especially relevant in Cancún’s intense natural light conditions. Dark plaster or cementitious finishes on curved walls create a background that visually anchors the space and highlights the lighter planes in front. Neutral upholstery in greys and taupes keeps the environment sober, while white worktops and built-in elements reinforce cleanliness and order.
Workstations use shared linear desks with integrated cable management, reducing visual clutter and facilitating collaborative work. Ergonomic chairs with neutral fabrics support long working periods without distracting from the overall aesthetic. In executive areas, desks and meeting tables adopt more robust proportions, emphasizing hierarchy while maintaining a coherent material language.
Lighting is resolved through linear recessed fixtures and strategically positioned downlights that emphasize circulation paths and focal points. Ceiling elements follow the geometry of the layout, reinforcing directionality and giving the ceilings a dynamic character. Integrated screens, wall-mounted supports, and hidden infrastructure allow technology to be present yet visually discreet, supporting presentations, videoconferencing, and digital workflows.
The façade incorporates horizontal louvers that filter sunlight and generate a play of shadows in the interior. This brise-soleil system mitigates solar gain, reduces glare on workstations, and improves visual comfort while maintaining outward views. The large glazed surfaces maximize daylight, decreasing the dependence on artificial lighting during working hours.
From a sustainability standpoint, the project privileges durable, low-maintenance finishes such as high-pressure laminates, porcelain tiles, and composite panels that resist humidity and coastal conditions characteristic of Cancún. The open-plan layout optimizes air distribution and reduces the need for compartmentalized climate control. The combination of daylighting strategies, efficient LED lighting, and long-lasting materials creates a workspace with reduced energy consumption, extended lifecycle, and a comfortable environment for users.
