Emilios featured project is a greenfield industrial/office building for Grupo Porcicolo Mexicano Kekén in the Mexican Yucatan and is a modern industrial facility and headquarter office building. The project encompasses a highly intricate industrial engineering while staying sensitive to the local vernacular architecture.
