JSa Architecture Studio Transforms 1954 Mexican Factory into Office Space

Summary

Mexico City-based architecture studio JSa has transformed a 1954 industrial factory building into their own office and studio space, preserving many original industrial features as part of a "manifesto in regenerative design." The Ice Factory building was originally part of the Cervecería Central beer factory complex, with most of the factory demolished after the 1985 Mexico City earthquake. The adaptive reuse project maintains the building's industrial character while creating functional workspace for the architecture practice.
