Consortium Headquarters // Santiago // Chile // Henry Browne & Borja Huidobro
The land is bounded by Forest Avenue, street of greater flow, and two small streets. But to the South there is a limit virtual Avenue Tobalaba diagonally across the area along with the San Carlos Canal.
Two volumes are responsible for setting access to a gallery, another volume contains 3 levels, while the main level has 16 levels and 75mts long. This great body is bent by its west side and is aligned with the axis forest and tobalaba.
The building is vertically separated according to the requirements of the owner, who left early for the Consortium floors and 13 above to income, so the vertical circulations as access operated separately. The top abalconarse achieved on the lower level and create a visual relationship between the two.

The front is transformed into a vegetable garden around 3000squaremetres vertical, the same surface on which the building was constructed.

Hi everyone, – spotted this web-site by pure luck while drifting round the internet this evening, and pleased that I did! I do like the layout and colors, but I really should point out that I’m having trouble when it loads. I’m making use of SeaMonkey 2 web browser for mac, and the menu doesn’t line up properly. i’m fairly certain I have made use of the exact same layout on a company’s site, but the menu seems Ok on mine. I suspect the problem is at this end & I’m guessing it is time to change for a better one!
Enjoyed reading through this, very good stuff, regards .
