ALMA Residencia: main façade, main building

The ALMA Residencia will be the new home for staff and visitors to the facility. The shape of the buildings and the colour of the exteriors of this major architectural project have been designed to meld with the topography, the environment and the landscape of the ALMA site. The design was undertaken by the Finnish architects Kouvo & Partanen and was then adapted to the Chilean market by Rigotti + Simunovic Arquitectos, a Chilean firm of architects.
