Vertical City - Miraflores (Lima) Peru

The concept of this surreal 100-meter building, located in a strategic point of Miraflores, was the decomposition of matter, from the solid to the ethereal.

The consolidated part starts from at top, and as it goes down and gets close to the ocean, it dematerializes.

“Vertical City,” a building for backpackers and travel characterized by the special interrelation between and the vertical visual flow, landed on a sector of the cliff in Miraflores through a level that related it to what was already there (Urban Implantation), so that the volume base could adapt to the topography of the mountain. This started to decompose (Volume Base) as it got close to the ocean.

The result was the start of a volumetric composition more irregular, according to the mountain’s topography (integration-mimesis), which turns more stable as you ascend.
