Biofarma HQ / Santiago Viale Lescano + Juan Manuel Juárez

Biofarma is a company that produces and markets animal feed for the poultry, swine, and cattle industries, among other species. The project originated from a private competition, which called for designing a master plan for the construction of an industrial plant that includes an administrative office building and other complementary structures, on a plot of 39,870m2. After receiving the first prize, we were tasked with developing the executive project for the offices. To design the building, it was considered that we had a free perimeter and a strategic location within the master plan. Two rectangular-shaped floors were proposed, consisting of office bands towards the facades connected by two internal courtyards in the center, creating collaborative spaces. Two vertical circulation cores at the ends allow for greater interaction between employees on different levels. The program on the upper floor includes not only the offices but also meeting rooms, printing areas, and a coffee break space. The company managers' offices are distributed around a double-height space that connects with a hierarchized entrance on the ground floor, reinforcing the sense of institutional identity. Together with the mentioned entrance, a small auditorium and training rooms are located.
