The Cabada building, located in the La Viñita neighborhood of Barranco, builds upon lessons from earlier occupied projects. It consists of two independent towers connected by a central core, with open-air corridors facing north that overlook a central patio—capturing winter sunlight while shielding from southern winds. One side features exposed natural concrete with balconies and vegetation, and a permeable base that invites access. The other is built in ochre-yellow pigmented concrete, giving it a more solid, grounded appearance. This thoughtful material palette enlivens the neighborhood without relying on environmentally harmful paints or finishes that require ongoing maintenance.

Designed with sustainability at its core, the building ensures comfort, reduces environmental impact, and maintains economic efficiency throughout its lifespan. Optimal orientation, efficient façades, water reuse for irrigating green areas, and high-efficiency systems result in low energy and water consumption, qualifying it for the international EDGE certification. Durable materials—such as natural and pigmented concrete, natural aluminum, and galvanized steel—preserve their appearance over time with minimal upkeep. Additional features like a recycling station, bicycle parking, and a space for cleaning sports gear enhance the building’s livability and community focus.
