Gonzalez Moix Arquitectura completed a mixed-use commercial and office building in La Molina, a suburb of Lima, Peru. Boasting a raw material palette with a folding concrete structure imprinted with the wooden form work, steel, the project’s true treasure is the three-dimensional green wall designed by Veronica Crousse as a mural of recycled wooden planks fitted together like a haphazard puzzle with several kinds of plant species sprouting from the cracks and seams. The living vertical sculpture provides a creative atmosphere and frames an exterior courtyard and terrace. At street level, a glass wall displays the ample commercial locale behind a large patio creating a spill-out space in front of the road. Thus, the facade is kept alive not only by day with the exhibition of pieces but also at night with a subtle set of lights.
Zentro represents not only a project well-studied that inserted into an urban environment, but is itself a set of spaces and sensations that arise as one delves deeper into the proposed architecture. For that reason with clean lines and austere materials was proposed a contemporary architecture that works as a container box of creativity and added value.
