This building is located on the main avenue entering the city of San Jose, on a corner lot with two additional narrow accesses.

The design was determined by spatial and functional factors, rather than environmental aspects. In Costa Rica there are only a few tall buildings, which means that any building over four stories high becomes a landmark for the citizens. In this country, continually exposed to strong seismic events, the structure must be symmetric in order to avoid torsion and eccentricity. Consequently, this becomes a decisive factor in architecture.

Shear walls surround the perimeter in order to obtain an open floor plan and an 86% space utilization. The façade features columns lined in structural brick to reduce maintenance and employ local labor.

The glass panels are staggered in three sections and direct sunlight is deterred by means of horizontal sunshades.
