Madrid-based architecture practice FRPO has designed Estación San José, a new mixed-use building in the Mexican city of Toluca.
The site of the project was originally a car park serving an adjoining office complex. The owner, while needing to maintain parking facilities, wanted to create a multi-purpose structure that could become a cultural and economic hub for the local area and wider city.
The building is located close to Toluca’s central historic district – with the San José Cathedral and multiple museums – but aims to strengthen the connection between this area and the nearby university district. The architect and the client saw the project – which began in 2017 – as an opportunity to fuse these dispersed energies of the city.
