A “boutique-building” situated in the heart of Polanco
Exclusive residential solutions that focus on being Green: the multi award-winning Studio Donis takes state-of-the-art architecture to Mexico City and picks I Naturali by Laminam for the iconic honeycomb façade
A “boutique-building” situated in the heart of Polanco, an exclusive residential area in Mexico City, Castelar 75 is considered to be one of the Country’s most cutting-edge architectural creations. Designed and created by the famous architect Fernando Donis (the founder of the namesake studio with offices in Mexico and in the Netherlands which specialises in restyling urban, architectural and industrial design with visionary projects), the building is intended for a new type of sustainable office and commercial building, boasting large expanses of space inside, ideal for workspaces, reception and parking areas. I Naturali by Laminan is used to create an original brise-soleil façade, abstraction of the fractal nature of the important park in front.

A monumental work both in terms of size as well as its environmental policy
Castelar 75 stretches vertically over fifteen floors above ground and two underground for a total of 18,314 m2 and a surface area of 1207 m2: it is a monumental work both in terms of size as well as its environmental policy, as testified by the LEED GOLD certification, which assesses the sustainability of a building throughout its entire life cycle, from concept design, to construction, through to running it, also involving the allocation of credits to the construction materials used to achieve these ambitious objectives.

The iconic smart façade includes ventilated terraces on each storey, which combine the concept of modularity with a biomimetic vision of its framework, offering a spectacular view of Lincoln Park.
The facilities also comprise a self-service car park, a ventilation system, a latest-generation ERP for the building’s maintenance and an innovative climate control system, which are all added bonuses that make Castelar 75 a truly prestigious construction solution for those in pursuit of exclusivity, quality and domestic well-being for themselves or for their co-workers, in addition to fully conforming to the standards of green architecture.
The exterior of the architecture is particularly eye-catching, the starting point of Castelar 75’s sustainable design
The exterior of the architecture is particularly eye-catching, the starting point of Castelar 75’s sustainable design with its characteristic vertical honeycomb structure where each cell plays host to lush decorative plants. The 6+6 mm low-emission double glazing applied to all windows minimises heat dispersion. For the iconic exterior façade the design studio headed by the architect Donis opted for large Laminam slabs from the I Naturali collection in the 1000 x 3000 mm size, selected in the Travertino Grigio Venato colour in Bocciardato finish with Laminam 5 thickness. In this particular context, the choice proved to be particularly elegant and impactful, since the slab was used to clad the trapezoidal elements making up the fake honeycomb cells of the external façade giving it a smooth, falsely irregular rhythm that looks extremely dynamic, effect augmented by the sunlight changes throughout the days and seasons.
Laminam surfaces offer a host of advantages when used outdoors:
they bring to mind the beauty of natural stones and are refined and highly effective. They improve thermal insulation and, given their light weight, they do not affect load-bearing structures. They are strong and durable, do not suffer from corrosion, the surface is always uniform and the colours are always the same over time. Last but not least, they are eco-sustainable and recyclable. In the case of Castelar 75, the use of the I Naturali collection in Travertino Grigio Venato Bocciardato has contributed to the overall sustainability of the building ranked in LEED/BREEAM credits, since it was able to rely on a minimum pre-consumer recycled material use of 20%.

La icónica fachada inteligente incluye terrazas ventiladas en cada piso que combinan el concepto de modularidad con una visión biomimética de los marcos, ofreciendo unas vistas espléndidas al Lincoln Park.
Los servicios se completan con un aparcamiento autoservicio, un sistema de ventilación, un ERP de última generación para el mantenimiento de edificios y un innovador sistema de climatización; todas estas características hacen de Castelar 75 una solución constructiva de gran valor para quienes buscan exclusividad, calidad y bienestar para uno mismo o para sus colaboradores, además de cumplir plenamente con los cánones de la arquitectura green.
Llama especialmente la atención la arquitectura exterior, punto de partida del diseño sostenible de Castelar 75
Llama especialmente la atención la arquitectura exterior, punto de partida del diseño sostenible de Castelar 75 con su característica estructura de placas alveolares verticales que albergan exuberantes plantas decorativas. El doble acristalamiento con bajas emisiones de 6+6 mm, aplicado en todos los perfiles, permite contener las dispersiones térmicas. Para la icónica fachada exterior, el estudio de diseño del arquitecto Donis optó por las grandes tablas Laminam de la colección I Naturali en formato 1000×3000 mm, color Travertino Grigio Venato y acabado Bocciardato con espesor Laminam 5. En este contexto, esta elección resulta especialmente elegante e impactante, ya que la tabla se ha utilizado para cubrir los elementos trapezoidales que forman las células falsas de la fachada exterior, dándole un patrón rítmico, falsamente irregular y, por lo tanto, muy dinámico, un efecto que se acentúa con los cambios de luz durante el día y las estaciones.
Las superficies Laminam tienen muchas ventajas cuando se utilizan al aire libre
Las superficies Laminam tienen muchas ventajas cuando se utilizan al aire libre, ya que, al imitar la belleza de la piedra natural, aportan eficacia y sofisticación. Contribuyen al aislamiento térmico y, gracias a su ligereza, no añaden peso a las estructuras portantes. Resistentes y duraderas, no sufren corrosión, la superficie resulta siempre uniforme y los colores se mantienen inalterados con el paso del tiempo. Y por último, son ecosostenibles y se pueden reciclar. En el caso de Castelar 75, la utilización de la colección I Naturali con Travertino Grigio Venato Bocciardato contribuyó a la sostenibilidad global del edificio contabilizada en créditos LEED/BREEAM, pudiendo contar con un porcentaje mínimo de material reciclado preconsumo del 20%.

Esclusività residenziale che parla green: il pluripremiato Studio Donis porta l’architettura d’avanguardia a Città del Messico e sceglie I Naturali di Laminam per l’iconica facciata alveolare.
“Edificio-boutique” collocato nel cuore di Polanco, zona residenziale esclusiva di Città del Messico, Castelar 75 è considerata una delle creazioni architettoniche più all’avanguardia del Paese. Immaginato e realizzato dal rinomato architetto Fernando Donis (fondatore dell’omonimo studio con sede in Messico e nei Paesi Bassi, specializzato nel riformulare il design urbano, architettonico e industriale con progetti visionari), l’edificio è destinato ad uso commerciale e office building, vantando al suo interno ampi spazi atti ad ospitare reception e aree di lavoro, e parcheggi. I Naturali di Laminan sono utilizzati per realizzare un’originale facciata in brise-soleil, astrazione della natura frattale dell’importante parco antistante.

Un’opera monumentale sia per dimensione che per politica ambientale
Castelar 75 si sviluppa verticalmente su quindici piani fuori terra e due interrati per un totale di 18.314 mq e un’area di 1207 mq: un’opera monumentale sia per dimensione che per politica ambientale, testimoniata dalla certificazione LEED GOLD, che valuta la sostenibilità di un edificio sull’intero ciclo di vita, dalla progettazione, alla costruzione, fino alla gestione dello stesso, coinvolgendo anche l’assegnazione di crediti ai materiali edili impiegati per il raggiungimento di questi obiettivi ambiziosi.

È in particolare l’architettura esterna a catturare lo sguardo, punto di partenza della progettazione sostenibile di Castelar 75 con la caratteristica struttura a celle alveolari verticali che ospitano rigogliose piante decorative. Il vetrocamera basso emissivo di 6+6 mm, applicato in tutti gli infissi, permette di contenere le dispersioni termiche. Per la iconica facciata esterna lo studio di progettazione dell’architetto Donis ha optato per le grandi lastre Laminam della collezione I Naturali nel formato 1000 x 3000 mm, scelte nella colorazione Travertino Grigio Venato in finitura Bocciardato con spessore Laminam 5. Nel contesto specifico, la scelta si rivela di particolare eleganza ed impatto, poiché la lastra è stata impiegata per rivestire gli elementi trapezoidali che compongono le finte celle della facciata esterna donandole un andamento ritmato, falsamente irregolare e per questo molto dinamico, effetto accentuato dal cambiamento della luce solare durante il giorno e le stagioni.
Le superfici Laminam presentano molteplici vantaggi nell’impiego in esterno
Le superfici Laminam presentano molteplici vantaggi nell’impiego in esterno: evocando la bellezza delle pietre naturali, sono raffinate e d’effetto. Favoriscono l’isolamento termico e, data la loro leggerezza, non gravano sulle strutture portanti. Resistenti e durevoli, non subiscono corrosione, la superficie risulta sempre uniforme e i colori rimangono inalterati nel tempo. Non ultimo, sono ecosostenibili e riciclabili. Nel caso di Castelar 75, l’impiego della collezione I Naturali con Travertino Grigio Venato Bocciardato ha contribuito alla complessiva sostenibilità dell’edificio conteggiata in crediti LEED/BREEAM, potendo contare su una percentuale di riciclato pre-consumo minima del 20%.
