On João Davino Avenue, in Maceió, a 5,089.85 m² plot hosts a generous architectural vision to redefine the interaction between public and private domains. Two corporate buildings with active facades conceive a harmonious integration between these two realms, reflecting the dynamic essence of the coastal city.

At the heart of this project lies a unique structure that connects the public land to the street, transforming into a semi-public space with parking on the first semi-public basement level, and second basement level parking. Then transitioning into two levels of underground parking before giving way to the private towers. This approach maximizes space efficiency while also facilitating interaction between different uses and users, promoting a sense of fluidity and inclusivity.

The corporate towers are characterized by a combination of conventional glass skin with terraces and planters. Each tower receives a distinct treatment - one features grids and blinds and planters to ensure environmental protection and privacy, ideal for offices, while the other, oriented towards commercial spaces, has plugs that allow for vegetation integration on the terraces, creating a more organic and inviting atmosphere.

At ground level, the public space is entirely permeable, with a special flooring treatment that connects it to the sidewalk, encouraging passersby to enter the building. The internal gallery leads to a variety of additional services planned for the project, with shops in organic shapes - in contrast to the building - and all clad in glass, establishing a direct and inviting relationship with the street. By bringing vegetation into the common areas and integrating large openings that allow natural light and air circulation, the building becomes a green oasis in the city. This integration of natural and architectural elements not only promotes better environmental quality within the buildings but also positively influences the well-being and productivity of workers, attracting and inspiring passersby and visitors.

The ten typical floors feature 28 units per floor, ranging from 58.00 m² to 74.00 m², and on the rooftop, a duplex with 28 units per floor. Two basements with 212 parking spaces and sub-basements with 354 parking spaces. With a fundamental focus on the inclusion of vegetation and large recessed openings, the project aims to create a functional workspace while also providing a well-being and connection experience with the surroundings for all its users.

With two sub-basements, two basements, and towers planned with 10 floors and a rooftop, as well as a heliport, the project interprets the practical needs of corporate uses and seeks to incorporate elements of the coastal nature and local habits into architecture. The towers are conceived as natural integrations into Maceió's urban landscape, with ascending vegetation, strategic openings, and careful connections to the surroundings, offering leisure, services, and a new working and service experience in the city.
