Biophilic design, that is: the design that seeks "the innate emotional affiliation of human beings to other living organisms" (Edward O Wilson) ensures that people can be in direct contact with nature, perceiving it with all their senses. This is achieved through the implementation of its layer system: in an immediate layer are the plants that coexist in each of the workspaces and are maintained thanks to ventilation and natural lighting; the second layer is made up of the internal vertical garden. The third layer fosters the relationship between interior space and the central and rear gardens, with large windows. The final layer is made up of the vegetal skin of the building's roof, which is a landscaped roof with plants and trees that absorb heat, capture carbon, and release oxygen. At the perceptual and visual level, the vegetal component of each layer is complemented by materiality that is expressed with authenticity and sobriety. On a sensitive level, the comfortable feeling of naturally regulated temperature adds to the natural lighting effect. Additionally, the particularity of the site where it was projected contributes to the importance of the intervention of a building with ninety years of history, which is valued by rescuing the beauty of ancient architecture and harmonizing it peacefully with sober textures and materials. In addition to the reactivation of a place that contributes to the recovery of the city of San José.
