The project is located in Santa Fe in a site of 740,000 sqf. With a shape of a triangle, which makes the project unusual. Terracota Cien Offices is a 10 storey building with 6 levels of underground parking, two commercial areas, a loading dock and heliport. One of the singularities of the project is that there is no typical floor. Every story is different from the others, creating several exterior terraces. In addition, the exterior perimeter is extensive giving plenty of natural light on almost every part of the interior space. The project is unique in maintaining a constant change in each office level as there is no type level, creating terraces on several of them and also more perimeter wall, which provide more natural light into the building. The exterior finishes on the facades are stone on the ground floor and pre-cast concrete panels on all the other floors. Insulated glass is used on the building in order to avoid too much heat absorption and reduce the need of mechanical ventilation. Sustainable design and construction practices were incorporated throughout this project obtaining a Platinum LEED certification in the Core & Shell category under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design® (LEED) program.
