Initially conceived for the Banco Ciudad, the building was transformed into a city hall thanks to its functional and symbolic versatility.
The project uses the free distribution of the Climatroffice, evoking the hospital designs of Amancio Williams with its large undulating roof that, together with the surrounding vegetation, protects the glass façade from the sun.
The flexibility of the interior space, the transparency of the enclosure, the zenithal lighting and the adaptation to the peripheral environment allowed the building to change use without the need to revise the architectural type.
