The tower section involves a typological revision of the commercial office building, historically presented as a stack of floors, to propose a staggered superposition of four independent buildings. Each of them has an exterior welcoming space and a significant lobby that translates into a volumetric gesture that leaves its mark on the repetitive facade of the complex. The first receives the city on the ground floor with the bank offices on which the six-story parking lot is built. The remaining three are prisms of different dimensions that are set back from the previous one, freeing up terraces that share the orientations and views over the sea and the Historic center. Each prism can be read as a small canonical office building that shares its high-rise lobby with some use shared use by all tenants: a restaurant, a gym, a leisure and meeting club, a nursery and a dining room. At the top, a representative lounge is visible from the entire city. The envelope is finished with a curtain wall introduced with different tonalities and transparencies that introduce a random and vibrant factor in the reading. From the exterior, the play between translucency and opacity of the modules —at night it is guessed that all the elements have some degree of transparency— generates a scalar ambiguity that prevents the identification of the floor as no obvious horizontal line of the envelope coincides. From the interior, the pixelated landscape blurs and recomposes the geographies of each orientation, promoting the coexistence of its most banal ingredients built by real estate ambition, the natural elements —the sea, the mangroves, the hills— and the archaeological remains that explain the birth of the city and the transoceanic culture.
