SGBL Headquarters
Located in the downtown area, the project consists of a 24-meter height podium and double towers. The Podium is fragmented to allow light and sun to penetrate into the middle of the lot, creating a small sunny Piazza at the ground floor level, open to the city. Above the Podium, double towers emerge. The materials used for the project – stone, glass, steel, fabric and greenery – will generate transparency, lightness and luminosity.
