Outside and inside interrelations, search of natural diffuse light, suitable for working environments; taking advantage of natural cross-air ventilation produced by the gentle local breeze The Alisio, natural free air conditioning that only needs appropriate entrance and  exit points; the heavier thermal mass front , without conductivity, to the west, ventilated facade to the south. Inhabited facade configured with balcony-patios like an extension of the workplace, which bringing added value to the project, feeling of expansion and relating with other working units. Opaque facade, protected with self projected shadows. The interior temperature is 5 to 8ºC lower than the exterior, with no energy use. The building responds to the annual temperature variations, for example, it maintains a comfortable temperature for three days of heat haze (Calima).

The result is a contrast between the gravity of the exterior and the lightness of the interior. Between the projected skin shades and the contained interior lights. A game between materials and space in different levels of texture of shadow and light.
