Baluarte Building

The project is an exercise in synthesis of what formally and functionally is an office building. Made up of two completely diaphanous half floors, as the vertical structure was arranged outside not to interfere either with the floor or the enclosure. The half floors are connected via a central element, housing communications and services which, outside,is of greater mass in order to articulate the volumes around it and to identify the entrance.

In terms of composition, horizontal patterns predominate on the curtain wall in search of a contrast with the concrete pillars which, connected by massive edge beams over the glassed area, support and enrich the multi-faceted geometry of the closed-in spaces.
