The latter is a parallelepiped cut in sections with the same width as Avila street, so as to work as an indicator of the relationship between the street and the plaza without closing off the views of the large central park. The underground roof has the finishes and use of a public space, thus related with the future project of the plaza de las Glorias. The green carpet is one of the key components and has been achieved with natural elements that ensure sustainability and ease of maintenance. The bright graphics and the pergola complement the urban plaza situated on the other side of the building, next to Meridiana Avenue. The bar and restaurant is set at the +6.98m level and functions as an attraction to the public space. The lake is a compositional base that relates the different levels.
