Office building in Costa Rica
Technical report
The owner’s list of requirements for the Holcim Costa Rica office building included the program (list of rooms and floor areas to be provided), the wish for an environmentally and socially responsible design, and the request to include Holcim products in the construction.
The owner, Holcim (Costa Rica) S.A., is a company that produces cement, aggregates, concrete, and prefabricated concrete elements for buildings. A modest but adequate construction budget was set for the project.
