Imperquimia
A four-story office building by Barreiro Architects, rising in the south of Mexico City and conceived in pursuit of LEED Platinum.
Here, the lighting answers to two demands at once — the architecture's clean, vertical order and the discipline a Platinum ambition asks for. Daylight is treated as the primary source, with electric light tuned to extend it gently rather than compete with it, so that energy is spent only where the working day truly needs it.
Across the four levels, light is layered to keep the building legible and calm: even, comfortable illumination for the workspaces, restraint at the perimeter where the city already gives so much, and a quiet presence after dark that lets the architecture, not the fixtures, carry the building's identity.
Light is spent where the day needs it — and held back everywhere else.
