RETAIL PROJECT - COLLABORATION FOR SPRINGALL + LIRA
TRES MARÍAS, MICHOACAN
2017
Liverpool’s new call center building is located in the hot area of Tres María’s Valley, outskirts of Morelia City. Our duty as Springall + Lira was to design a bioclimatic skin that would help to control solar incidence; Similarly, the lobby hall, vertical circulations, a cafeteria(never built) and a roof-garden were part of the design work.
MASTER PLAN
SECOND SKIN CONSTRUCTIVE PROCCESS
Existing concrete lattice structure
12mm aluminium glass windows
Telescopic brackets anchored
Horizontal beams to reinforce
Triangular steel frames
Perforated korten steel plates
The call-centre host around one thousand workers, therefore a proper bio-climatic control becomes fundamental, especially in such a warm region.
Our proposal consists of a second skin shaped by triangular per-forated corten-steel plates that would fade sunlight in the interior. Some triangular pa-nels would remain open as terraces to pro-vide panoramic visuals.
The project won several prices such as the Interceramic Awards, the CDMX Bienna-le of Architecture 2019, and the German De-sign Award 2020.

Project interview with S + MK CEO partners: Billy Springall & Ricardo Muñoz-Kuri
My main duty within this project was to design, 3d model & draft; from an early conceptual stage towards the construction phase. Worked about a year, directly under the leading of Arch. Billy Springall, following the bioclimatic supervision of MArc. Ricardo Muñoz-Kuri, within the BIM ArchiCAD Sytems of Liverpool's Architecture Department, and in constant communication with the parametric designers provided by the facade’s constructor - Grupo Basica.
