For the Bicentennial of Costa Rica in 2021, Inverse Project has proposed a conceptual tower to commemorate this special milestone for the country.
It would be a 65 level, mixed use tower accommodating retail, a transit hub, a campus, co-working and offices, apartments, a hotel and a multi-level observation area at the top. The building rises to 294m and would be the tallest in Central America.
The form of the building is derived using parametric design and is inspired by the structure of the majestic tropical trees found in Costa Rica. A spiraling exterior walkway connects the street with the crown linking a number of sky gardens where one can enjoy the temperate climate of San Jose and gain views of the surrounding mountains and volcanoes.
The top of the building is open with exposed structure reaching skyward and representing the continued growth of this unique country.
