Design
The cornerstone for the development of this project was the client’s clarity of ideas. The project reflected their personality in a cooperative setting, while at the same time becoming a development magnet and a source of employment in the region.
The development’s guidelines were sustainability in all of its aspects, functionality, connection to the environment and community participation in the development. The center currently conforms a model for other cooperatives, as an example that through organization and participation in the community great results can be achieved.
