Standing a close distance from the community house, like a sturdy steward, the Hacienda Sta. Elena Office is an embodiment of the Administration and its guiding principles by evoking the sense of order and dialogue through its materiality. A balanced composition of cement and natural stone finishes conveys stability, honesty, and authority, while black slatted elements frame the spaces with order, direction, and transparency. Overhead, warm wooden ceilings introduce an atmosphere of refuge and protection. A civic anchor that fosters creation of a well-composed community environment that is organized, professional, and materially honest.
