The project is very formal. It's a frozen gesture. Perhaps some anchoring to the territory is lacking and solving some programmatic issues. For example, the daily use of sloping spaces, the orientation of some rooms towards the parking lot or the location of the offices in one of the most representative areas. Congratulations on your bravery
The design of the concept design node was interesting, it was transformed in the project which is not very clear. We find the architecture a bit complicated. There is no environmental specificity. But the outdoor spaces are qualitative.
The concept is too complex and not related with the site. The outcome is noisy and inappropriate for this environment. Presentation is clear. Program and layout are developed with experience.
