Rafael de la Hoz-Architects designed a space that invites people to live and work with the historic garden, built around 1907 when the original palace construction was completed. A structured metal façade supports large glass windows that are transparent to the street on the ground level. The 250-person auditorium rests at the street-level of the five-story complex, which has an attic space and two subterranean levels. Computer controlled laser-cutting systems allowed architects to compose curved and complicated inclines for the north building façade and builders made sure to spread weight through supports that didn’t require view-blocking pillars or support columns.
