Earth Song

The green roof is supported on a series of columns that scoop out usable space below them.

The green roofing moves away from the existing building, sloping down to the ground.

It hence creates a smooth joint between the new volume and the existing ground level, giving birth to a circular inner yard around which the volume expands itself.

The main structure is covered with vegetal soil with different sheltering and waterproofing layers.

The glass walls, on the north facade, are supported by structures in metal alloys that are scarcely visible from the exterior.
