The cantilevered workshop lifts us above the dense pine forest that we find in the Los LLanillos area. In addition, the entrance of light through the south facade, colliding with the granite lintels, will enter directly through th e windows. The granite lintels will be 5 meters long and serve to guide the vegetation that grows through it. Deciduous leaves will allow shade in summer and sunlight to enter in winter.

Various urban actions were carried presumptuous balconies.

As well as trying to preserve as much of the existing buildings as possible. Turning the state around, I understood that the urban high is also found on the rooftops of the buildings.
