This tower is a private investment project located in Zone 10 of Guatemala City, at a strategic point where the corporate district transitions into a more residential area. The building comprises five parking levels, a commercial floor at street level, two office floors, a gallery, and 12 levels of apartments ranging from 150 to 300 sqm. The ground floor features separate, varying-height elements designed to create open-air pathways. Brick flooring extends up the walls in the enclosed areas of each establishment, framed by glass panels and black metal structures. The gallery is a wood-clad volume suspended from an exposed steel framework, with wood slats that open to allow filtered natural light.
The office section is characterized by geometric simplicity, drawing inspiration from Mies van der Rohe, with minimalist steel and glass planes. The southeast side features a loggia with steel ribs that set the rhythm of the facade. As the design transitions to the residential levels, vegetation takes center stage alongside the concrete structure. Vaulted slabs connect the concrete ribs, while corner terraces add movement to the facade, where greenery becomes increasingly abundant and dense.
