Discover an Homage to Mexican Heritage at This TikTok Office<\/h1>\n\n\n

Mexico City has become a hot destination for remote workers, drawn by its arts, affordability, mild climate, and expat community. Embracing the trend, TikTok set up a satellite office there and hired Gensler CDMX to infuse its 130,000 square feet across four floors with a vibrancy that matches that of the metropolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe organized the journey around a central circulation path that mimics the flow of a gallery,\u201d senior associate and design director Edgardo C\u00e1ceres-\u00c1lvarez says. It looks<\/em> like a gallery, too, courtesy of a pair of large-scale abstract murals in vivid blues and oranges, one by Guadalajaran graphic artist Rocca Luis C\u00e9sar that emphasizes inclusivity, the other by local creative RILO, aka Riley Miller, its glyph-inspired characters enjoying a Mexican celebration. A collaboration area\u2019s curated display of traditional masks is another homage to the country\u2019s heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Materials reflect the region, as well, such as reception\u2019s rounded desk of locally sourced volcanic stone and floor of encaustic tile. In the creator\u2019s lounge, above Patricia Urquiola\u2019s Oru chairs and Alfredo H\u00e4berli\u2019s Giro sofa, the ceiling skews Aztecan, its acoustic-felt pyramidal forms made of pre-consumer recycled PET. In a similar commitment to sustainability, C\u00e1ceres-\u00c1lvarez and team\u2019s use of natural light and research-based solutions reduced the office\u2019s energy consumption by 20 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
