Article source: Gonzalez Moix Arquitectura We had to solve an a typical project, a design center, where creativity and art should be blended and be offered to the user. The shops should have the same condition, without creating differences between the front and back. After solving the first floor with two locals, we made in the second and third floor 8 offices or locals arranged beside a yard with domestic scale.

The artist Veronica Crousse was called to design this large wall sculpture made from recycled materials with living vegetation in the gaps left by the position and movement of the wood inserts. It generates a very special life to a dividing wall which coexists with the everyday creative work.

This resolves an equitable and warm condition that coexists with the creative environment of the center. Thus, between the 8 offices and the vertical garden is born the terrace, an open space that acts as entrance court for workers and visitors of Zentro.

Details in exposed concrete, recycled wood and stainless steel define the small but important spaces in the project.

Thus, the facade is kept alive not only by day with the exhibition of pieces but also at night with a subtle set of lights.
