Technical information

The twisted shape features a ventilated facade that extends from a section of the roof and continues down to the front of the building. Natural ventilation is ensured through the atrium and curved, opening windows integrated into the facade. The building utilizes renewable energy through photovoltaic panels and incorporates a wastewater treatment system and rainwater management, which is collected through the glass roof of the atrium, which is designed in the shape of a tree leaf present on the roof."
