A distinctive building is proposed, taking advantage of its location within an office campus, facing a plaza and surrounded by green spaces. The building closes the ensemble’s visual perspective from the plaza and seeks to bring the surrounding greenery into the interior through a central courtyard. This void changes in size and shape across different levels—opening, closing, and forming outdoor terraces and a semi-covered entrance atrium.

The main entrance is located on the plaza side of the complex. The approach to the building unfolds in a sequence: passing through a large semi-covered area, crossing a bridge that spans the central void running through all levels of the project, and arriving finally at the lobby. This space features double transparency, opening both to the plaza and to Posta Street, creating a generous entry area scaled to the building.

The building offers large office floor plates with a ceiling height significantly higher than conventional standards: 3.85 meters of clear height. To take advantage of this height, the floors are designed without suspended ceilings, leaving the concrete slabs exposed, with ducts and light fixtures suspended. All offices will have raised floors. The floor areas range between 1,300 and 1,900 square meters of usable space. The elevator core and restrooms are located along Arias Street. The building’s eccentric core typology allows for spacious and highly flexible floor plates that enable countless interior spatial configurations. Additionally, the eccentric core design allows the restrooms and elevator lobby to receive natural light and views to the outside.

The upper floors vary their geometry with diagonal shifts that break up the main façade facing the plaza. These breaks allow for the creation of exterior terraces with open views, accessible from the different floors.
