Its architecture revolves around two longitudinal volumes, connected by a central circulation area, presided over by a large open staircase. This layout fosters movement and interaction while also taking advantage of cross-ventilation and natural light.<\/p>\n<p>With a gross surface area of 4,191 m2, the building combines natural materials with cutting-edge technology. The CLT timber structure reduces the carbon footprint and ensures thermal and acoustic comfort.
