Qalma是一个高层公寓，占地较小，留下了很大比例的绿化面积，尊重了物业中现有的林地，并保护了该地块上生长的90%的树木。

Qalma is a vertical condominium which is developed in a reduced footprint, leaving a large percentage of green area, respecting the existing wooded area in the property and conserving 90% of all the trees grown on the site.

项目的一个基本概念是在高层公寓中达到一定的绿化率与的生物亲和力。现如今，人们居住在一个空间中，特别是在高层公寓，首先应该解决满足其居民的基本需求，其次应该优先考虑提高居住在建筑中的人的生活质量，这可以通过在公寓和公共区域内融入自然来实现。

A fundamental issue in the conceptualization of the project is the definition and interpretation of biophilia implemented in a vertical tower of apartments; inhabiting a space and in this case in particular a vertical condominium, must be resolved to meet the needs of its inhabitants, the priority is to improve the quality of life of those who inhabit the architecture, this can be achieved by integrating nature within the apartments and within common areas.

实现这一目标的第一个方法是在塔楼内启用具有优越位置的公共区域，这不仅可以整合公寓内的体验，还可以整合公寓外的体验。公共区域位于塔楼的最后三层，在空间上创造了一个亲近的体验；并且项目还将自然引入项目的各个垂直高度，在每一层都创造了一个自然环境。

A first approach to achieve this is by enabling common areas with privileged locations within the tower, in this way we can integrate the experience not only inside apartments but also outside them, the common areas are located in the last three levels of the tower, creating experiential relationships in height, another implemented method was to bring nature within the verticality of the project and inscribe it around the perimeter of the tower, the idea is to create a natural environment in height.

在建筑外立面的垂直度中融入植被，可以减少建筑内部的热负荷，但更重要的是它对居民的健康有益。

The vegetation incorporated in the verticality of the facades of the building generates a considerable thermal load reduction inside the building but more important are the health benefits that it causes to its inhabitants.

该项目的物质性是在三个条件和主要准则下提高的，即美学、使用寿命和当地材料的实施；混凝土成为建筑的主要结构、底座和基础，但同时也是一个基本的美学元素，不同材料之间的过渡是作为设计的一部分来解决的，是真实的构成，而不是被饰面板覆盖。

The materiality of the project was raised under three conditions and main guidelines, aesthetics, longevity and the implementation of local materials; the concrete was raised as the main structure, base and foundations of the building, but also as an architectural element that will remain largely exposed, the modulation of the concrete panels was a recurring theme since it was proposed that it reflect harmony and relationship between all his parts; the transitions between different materials were resolved as part of the design, being honest with their composition, without being covered and leaving the materials in evidence.

金属结构作为次要的结构元素是为了满足三个不同的目的，第一个目的是在整个东北立面上做为垂直的绿色屏风的结构；第二个目的是成为分布在整个塔楼的每个公寓的阳台上花盆的结构；第三，金属是塔楼的最后两层的设施和露台上的屋檐的重要组成部分。

The metal structure works as secondary structural elements, these are placed to satisfy three different purposes, the first is to raise vertical green screens over the entire north-east façade, the second purpose is to support planters that perch on the balconies of each apartment distributed throughout the tower, the third purpose is to generate eaves, mainly in the amenities and terraces of the last two levels of the tower.

Qalma位于El Coyol de Alajuela，这是一个以工业和商业发展为标志的地区，在其建设时，它是该地区的第一个高层公寓，作为一种新的居住选择，为此，它创造了一种不同于该地区现有的社区体验。

Located in El Coyol de Alajuela, an area marked by industrial and commercial development, Qalma is introduced as a new housing option, at the time of its construction it is the first vertical condominium in the area, and for this reason it creates an experience of community different from what existed in the area.
