This project proposes a contemporary intervention with pure lines and a clear orthogonal composition integrated into the urban fabric. The main façade is defined by a white, formal grid that frames large glass panels, enabling a direct relationship between the interior and the street.
The volume is organized in horizontal bands that house flexible programs: offices or housing depending on user needs. The interiors—visible from the façade—reflect a minimalist aesthetic, highlighted by neutral materials and thoughtful lighting.
The perimeter wall at street level ensures privacy without compromising transparency on the upper levels. The integration of vegetation and terraces provides a green respite within the dense urban context.
This is a building that embraces efficiency, functional elegance, and a discreet yet powerful presence in the city.
