At the same time, the city master plan had restrictions to the maximum area allowed for non-residentialactivities. We would have to be creative to enlarge and enhance the private areas of the project, makingthe best use of the site, as well as reaching a desired high volume to dialogue with the tall neighboringbuildings.We began with the proposition of balconies, which do not count as area for planning purposes and arenot subject to the limits established by the city master plan. Taking advantage of the friendly external en-vironment, we considered the front balconies away to open the window frames from floor to ceiling, cre-ating a pleasant feeling of integration with the outside, in opposition to the glass towers that seek to iso-late the typical noisy avenues of our big cities.In the corner rooms, we were able tocreate large balconies at the back, allowing the use as a formalmeeting room or as a more casual space-with the barbecue grill option. Still with the idea ofmaking thebuilding taller and creating different environments, we proposed several rooms with double ceiling height,which also brought movement and a unique look to the façade.Pursuing quality of life at work and social integration, we proposed a whole floor for common use. Wecreated a large square with happy hour environments, meetings andexercises on the 13th floor. With aprivileged view and with the unusual presence of a 9 meters high olive tree, this common area creates anexception in the facade, making the transition to the last floors, built with metallic structure. The commonarea and the last two floors, composed by duplex office spaces, creates a singular light topping for thebuilding.While integrating and respecting its surroundings, its special personality is noticeable at a first glance.
