On the 14th floor of Torre Helix, a LEED Platinum tower in Guadalajara’s financial district, the offices of Grupo EXIM and CIOSA share a single floor. Each company holds its own identity and its own rhythm of work, but light draws them into one language, giving the floor a sense of coherence from the moment you step off the elevator.
The lighting follows the architecture closely. Linear fixtures trace circulation and align with the building’s structure, while focused light settles over desks, meeting rooms, and shared work areas. Rather than filling the ceiling with repetition, light is placed with intention, building rhythm and depth the way punctuation shapes a sentence.
Throughout the offices, light behaves like a material in its own right. It catches the grain of black cantera stone, warms the surface of clay tile, and softens against curtains and upholstery. The fixtures themselves stay hidden, so what lingers is the light, not its source. Ambient illumination carries the space through the workday, while accent light adds contrast where it matters most, warmer and more expressive in the areas built for collaboration, quieter and more precise where focus is the priority.
Small variations in tone and intensity let each company keep its own character, while a shared palette of color temperature and detail holds the floor together as one place. What results is a workplace that feels both distinct and unified, built to support concentration and connection in equal measure, and made to last.
