//green double skin to achieve an adaptable building which fits in its sorroundings and avoids any environmental or aesthetic damage, we propose a green building, wrapped in vegetation.  We use traditional tools, inherit from traditional architecture, such as terrasses, venetian blinds, patios and mediterranian vegetation, which help us to achieve an efficient and adaptable  to different urban sensibilities building.

A double natural skin of green terrasses  in south facades that links the interior with the exterior. This in-between space is a natural space with vegetal lattices. These tools conform a changeable facade depending on climate and seasons of the year.
