Text description provided by the architects. Designed as the institutional headquarters for a financial cooperative, the architecture seeks to reflect the company's core values of freedom, cooperation, and sustainability in the pursuit of a better, fairer, and more humane planet. Consequently, the project was conceived to respect the environment and set an example for the community, achieving LEED certification as a result of the technical guidelines adopted. Key design decisions include the use of louvers oriented toward critical solar exposure, high-performance solar control glass, an efficient HVAC system, rainwater harvesting, and renewable energy generation, in addition to encouraging the use of low-emission transportation such as electric cars and bicycles.
