Estacion San Jose is a mixed-use infrastructure in the city center of Toluca de Lerdo, the capital city of the Estado de Mexico. 

The project arises as an opportunity to concentrate the disperse activity around this neighbourhood and create a new cultural, economic and activity hub, both at local and metropolitan levels, a social condenser with the goal of revitalizing the central area of the city, overlapping community programs: car park, office and co-working areas, cultural and commercial space, coronated with a public-access garden at the rooftop with spectacular views of the great Nevado de Toluca.

The result is a very flexible infrastructure that expects to be occupied by different types of users.

A naked concrete super-structure with a clean, meaningful geometry relates to the urban surroundings, rising above and overlooking them, both closely and beyond. The structural frame gives character and unifies the complex. A gentle lightweight metallic skin encloses the resulting volume, framing the most appreciated views: the Cathedral, the Cosmovitral and the Nevado de Toluca.
