A new corporative building was the objective of the contest organized by a Colombian real estate developer, won by Peruvian architect José Orrego. The project tried to emphasize its iconic character, standing out among the urban context. Each plane is conformed by a fragmented black pane of glass. The LED lines that cross this big surfaces provide a tech and contemporary look. These lines are the result of the contrast of two type of glasses: black and frosted. On the edges, planes are barely detached from each other by a luminous burnish that gives us the sensation of floating pieces. At night, the LED lines sick out with a programmed system, so that the whole building acquires a special dynamic and continuous movement. The basis of this complex is a water mirror that reflects the building effects and creates a vertical symmetry. AYASHA means 'small' in native language. In spite of that, the building shows itself as a huge urban referent.
