Project statement

The architectural design, simple but with a strong image, is the result of confronting two leading elements: a glass mask that runs the full height of the building, light, translucent and curved, and large solid, orthogonal diaphragms that add to the idea of solidity and trust.

The glass mask is also the building's upper crown, a crown that projects toward the sky and generates the idea of growth and future. Sensations of transparency and weight coexist at the same time. In short, a work with a balanced combination of functionality and a symbiosis of conceptual and pragmatic aspects, in a project of sober aesthetics.

Translated from the studio's Spanish for this concept; pending the studio's review.
