This building is designed to meet the needs of the Grupo Precisión – a company that creates automation and control processes for the oil, copper, gas, agricultural and airport industries – which needed a property that could combine different departments that had previously been scattered around Chile.
It is located in a mixed-use neighborhood containing office buildings, warehouses, industrial workshops and event centers that has taken a long time to establish itself in the city of Santiago.
The strategy for the project consisted of defining the working scales: The first, 1:1000, defined the geometric relationship between the building and its environment as well as its materials, lighting and interior climate.
The second; 1:10, addressed problems with construction, assembly, networks and installations and all the mechanics and engineering needed to ensure that the building would function over time.
