The building is positioned on the site of the existing Mahou tower. This space presented to us as a point in which multiple levels and characters of public space intersect. Recognising this convergence as a distinctive quality of the site within the urban landscape of Azca, the building stands, with its shape and orientation, unbiased to its surroundings. In it’s base, however, the tower is engaging with all levels and pedestrian flows with direct entrances and street-level activities. In this way the complex maze of levels that define the unique character of Azca is exhibited and articulated by elements that connect the spaces to the building. The highest platform is at the height of the exterior perimiter street that connects Azca with the surrounding neighbourhood. It is the main access route for locals on bicycles, a momentary promenade through the isides of Azca. On the main pedestrian level lies a formal sqare, wedged between multiple office towers, with an undergroung garage exit that ensures the base for constant circulation of users. Turning around the building, the square transitions into a more informal corridor, a marketplace. The building roots itselft into the lowest level, the park. It is the the most static out of the four, giving space to relaxation, terraces and outdoor workshops.
