Abstract |

The project consists of a building with an integral unified image. It is fragmented in three blocks (block A, block B and block C) in order to adapt itself to the slope of the terrain.

The resulting image is the adaptation of the building to the terrain showing a leveled step-like terracing in profile. The three blocks are separated from each other by closed courtyards on all four sides. The access to the building is through these courtyards. They generate a layout of full and empty spaces, in alternate positions, boosting the presence of light inside the offices and enormously improving the thermal inertia of the building. 

Functionally, each of the blocks is shaped with two sections of offices attached by a center-core of vertical access. These cores contain elevators and freight elevators, building systems facilities, restrooms, a staircase in the center and a fire escape. These cores are likewise divided in three parts by the courtyards placed at intermediate positions. 

There was an exhaustive search in the design process for materials to control solar reflectance which could maintain visual transparency at the same time. The end result was adopting constructive solutions with stressed fabric.
