Article source: GLR arquitectos / Gilberto L. Rodríguez “Two monoliths that modify and enrich the landscape; sculptures with life within them. Where living spaces, terraces, and an exclusive commercial area are discovered. All this translated into environments and sensations that lead you to a unique life style, all in the same place.”  Image Courtesy © Jorge Taboada

The project consists of two towers of monolithic appearance that rise above a two level commercial basing with underground parking space.

This level contains most of the amenities and common areas such as the gym, bar and swimming pool.

The randomly designed windows and the variations in depth and size of the balconies become part of this movement and give Magma Towers a unique and original signature.
