Cocobolo Centre becomes a new landmark in the skyline of the flourishing City of Panama
Inspired by the Panamas rich and unique natural environment, namely the Cocobolos and Banyan Trees, the
building merges technological innovation with organic sustainable design Centered on the Panama Market,
the building opens into three towers accommodating residential areas, offices, an elevated rooftop garden
and the market itself Large patios of light like luminous wells, elucidate the building, forge visual
connections and a sense of transparency for its inhabitants
Firmly rooted with the marked on the ground, the top of the towers open into a rooftop garden enriching
the spirit of the building with the best views of the city.
There is a secret geometry in natural structures Geometry represents the way of encoding space and reality Geometry is a natural syntax, and also for architecture The site, Panama, is understood as a global entity that behaves in a unique and complex way We redraw natural scenes of the country to understand their surroundings, we abstract them and transfer them to Panama City From the Banyan tree to the Cocobolo, the residential and market complex becomes a vegetable oasis in the center of Panama We invent a new reality necessary in the growing city of skyscrapers to invite you to live in an organic and vegetal structure The Cocobolo center becomes a reference point in the city as a step from the sea to the city.
