We created a 12 story residential building surrounded by a park, wild green areas and a river, in San Jose, Costa Rica.
The site for the project was full of old trees with beautiful heights. We designed the building in between the trees, having one specifically, so closed to the balconies that you are able to touch the leaves.
The building was designed with a predominant horizontal sequence and all slabs of different shapes. With this movement in the facade we created a dynamic rhythm that communicates with pedestrians as people walk by. With a park in front of the building, views become green and peaceful. We incorporated sliding window systems that open to the park and your living room becomes a terrace.
We designed a lap pool, spa area and gym area for users to enjoy common spaces.
The apartments are between 300 square meters to 500 square meters, all apartments completely custom to its users, with unique finishes and different styles inside.
