Focusing on redefining a smart lifestyle, this project emerges as a vibrant ecosystem that interconnects and forges community.

Bioma encompasses recreation, leisure, work, relaxation and well-being, exceeding not only expectations, but also anticipating the needs of those who experience it.

Bioma is a mixed-use tower designed to reintroduce permeability and pedestrian activity into a neighborhood increasingly shaped by enclosed blocks and car-dependent infrastructure. Located on one of the principal streets of Costa del Este and directly across from a major commercial center, the project takes advantage of its strategic position by prioritizing access, flow, and openness at street level.

The building’s ground floor is conceived as a public interface: a series of open, accessible spaces that support movement and interaction. Lush tropical vegetation, plazas, and shared amenities are deployed to create a welcoming urban edge that encourages walking, biking, and social encounters. This lower threshold not only connects Bioma to its immediate context but invites the city in—allowing the building to function as a porous extension of the street

Our concept of urban porosity revolutionizes the traditional perception of a residential building, by transforming both the ground floor into shared living areas. We believe in total integration with the environment, where the symbiosis between structure and nature is fundamental.

Above, Bioma organizes its residential, recreational, and commercial components as a vertical ecosystem. Rather than isolate uses, the design promotes overlap and adjacency—encouraging community through proximity. The rooftop, equipped with both public and private amenities, takes full advantage of the site’s height and orientation to open views of the Pacific Ocean to more than just its residents, challenging the typical privatization of such experiences.

Bioma proposes a shift in how buildings participate in the urban environment: not as isolated objects, but as frameworks for circulation, visibility, and integration. Through strategies of openness and mixed programming, it seeks to recalibrate the relationship between architecture and the city.
