aqso arquitectos office. The building is transformed into a modern structure, with positive impact on the urban space. The louvered green facade is sustainable and cost-effective. The entrance is institutional but welcoming.

From the main avenue, the green façade of the building can be seen, blending in with the vegetation of the urban landscape. The walkway linking the top of the hill becomes the roof of the ground floor, which extends to form an entrance canopy.

The transformation of the existing building results in three different façade systems: curtain wall, standard windows and large façade openings. The double skin that covers the volume unifies the image and brings colour and dynamism thanks to the suspended vegetation.

To guarantee the accessibility of the building, a ramp is created to connect the street level with the ground floor as well as the platform connecting the first floor with the street at the top floor.

This underlines the public nature of the building, which is not only an institutional headquarters but also a public space for urban pedestrian traffic.
