Visitors’ journey begins as they approach the Engineering Central Headquarters. Glass volumes merge with wooden ceilings, creating openness and fluidity. They move through hexagonal courtyards connected by flexible pathways, offering clear views of all design and engineering activities. Natural light permeates the glass facades with sun responsive gradients, enhancing visual comfort and creating a dynamic work environment. Here, multidisciplinary teams interact easily within adaptable spaces, allowing projects to evolve seamlessly. Every moment in the Engineering Central Headquarters becomes a living experience filled with movement, collaboration, and engagement.

The headquarters sits within a fully integrated Research and Engineering Campus. It replaces the previous building while reflecting modern engineering workflows. The layout emphasizes connectivity, with corridors and courtyards that allow smooth circulation between offices and studios. Hexagonal geometry organizes spaces efficiently. Visitors can observe ongoing vehicle projects from multiple perspectives, creating a cohesive experience for all.

Bathed in bright daylight, the sweeping metallic cladding plays with light gradients. People stroll, sit, and gather beneath its warm wooden canopy. This creates a dynamic rhythm that echoes the building’s fluid architecture. Visitor Experience / Internal Movement

The headquarters provides clear pathways between offices, courtyards, and exhibition areas, making the visitor experience seamless and engaging. Studios are located on the second and fourth floors to ensure privacy, while public activity zones surround the courtyards to encourage interaction. Visitors can follow vehicle projects in development from several angles, enhancing transparency and collaboration across teams. Open staircases and walkways promote dynamic movement, while courtyards allow sunlight to reach every corner.

The sweeping wooden ceiling cradles the space in warmth, while glossy white floors mirror ambient light and large digital displays pulse with activity creating a welcoming, high-tech lobby where human movement flows beneath crafted, tactile surfaces. Architectural Details and Materials

The building combines modern and traditional materials to create a functional and adaptive workspace:

Construction materials and techniques:

- Glass 60% of the façade, featuring sun-responsive gradients. - Cedar wood used for interior and exterior ceilings, adding visual warmth. - Custom brick forms the base of the building, slightly darker than traditional bricks, referencing historical structures. - Terracotta walls 10 internal courtyards, allowing natural light and flexible movement/testing spaces. - Pilotis columns support cantilevered edges and open up interior spaces.

Bold linear lighting cuts across the high ceiling, illuminating collaborative zones where teams walk and gather centered around a prototype truck that anchors the space, blending precision engineering with the organic rhythm of human interaction. Sustainability and Environmental Integration

The gradient glass façade reduces energy consumption and regulates natural light. Internal courtyards enhance natural ventilation, while open spaces accommodate greenery, creating a regenerative and flexible environment. Materials are designed to allow future development, enabling additional elements without altering the main structure, supporting the building’s sustainability and adaptability.

Final Vision of the Project

The Engineering Central Headquarters represents a transformation in work and engineering practices, balancing privacy and collaboration. Studios, courtyards, and internal pathways support multidisciplinary teams, offering complete visibility of ongoing projects from multiple vantage points. The building serves not only as a workspace but as a living experience for visitors and employees, with interiors adaptable over time. The design harmonizes functionality and aesthetics, integrating modern and traditional materials while maintaining interaction between people and the environment.

The Engineering Central Headquarters stands out with its gradient glass façades and wooden ceilings, creating a sense of openness and fluidity, while interconnected hexagonal courtyards provide clear visibility of interior spaces. Visitors move seamlessly through open corridors and studios, fostering collaboration among multidisciplinary teams. Critically, despite the flexible layout, some interior areas could benefit from greater variation to accommodate future changes in team sizes or project types. Nevertheless, the project successfully establishes an interactive workspace that encourages creativity and direct oversight, adding both functional and architectural value to the environment.
