In 1971, a group of visionary cattle ranchers joined forces to change the way we think about milk production. From its humble beginnings, Alpura has become a benchmark of dairy excellence. However, what truly stands out in this story is the narrative that unfolds through its architectural embodiment.
Project Name: The Alpura Corporate Building
Studio Name: Eskema Arquitectos
Design: Eskema Arquitectos, Arq. Luis Manuel Gómez Portugal
Area: 10,000 m2
Location: Industrial Park Cuamatla, Cuautitlán Izcalli
The starting point was simple: two floors of 500 square meters each. However, as Alpura thrived, the need for a more profound and ambitious planning became evident. A comprehensive site analysis was required, encompassing production, storage, parking, existing buildings, and maneuvering yards. Every detail, from pedestrian circulation routes to the movement of milk tankers and trucks, was scrutinized meticulously. The aim was to redefine the space and reconfigure plant access.
The resulting vision is a testament to architectural innovation. The new corporate building is not just a strategic control tower for the maneuvering yard, but a statement of industrial and corporate design. Its phased construction required a steel structure, ensuring cleanliness and efficiency in each stage of the process.
The building is more than a mere structure; it is an expression of functionality and form. Its design optimizes energy, light, and visual control. Every aspect of the architecture integrates with purpose and structure, becoming an essential element. The building’s volumetrics pay homage to the various founding groups of Alpura, encapsulating the essence of the company as a synergy of strengths.
This project is an impressive example of how architecture can transform an industrial space into a masterpiece of design and functionality. From its steel structure to its striking presence in the industrial landscape, this building is a beacon of creativity and vision in the world of architecture.
