The architectural proposal focuses on leveraging the newly permitted high-density zoning in the city. Situated on a wide-fronted site, the building is divided into two structures to reduce its mass and establish a better relationship with the neighboring buildings.

The project aims to revitalize the area by creating commercial spaces that enhance pedestrian activity and urban connectivity. The integration of the street with the proposed plaza creates a spacious and continuous public area, encouraging users to linger.

In response to new eco-efficiency regulations, the building adopts sustainable strategies that are uncommon in the real estate sector. A prominent feature is the central atrium, which facilitates natural ventilation and lighting while housing hanging planters with randomly placed trees, reinforcing the presence of nature throughout the project—from the public plaza to the interior corridors and private rooftop garden.

Additionally, the building features recessed balconies on the east and west facades, which serve as solar protection and the primary plastic element of the facade, creating an interplay of interwoven volumes.
