Casa Wabi l Tadao Ando
2014
The main headquarters of the foundation was designed and built by the renowned japanese architect Tadao Ando (Pritzker, 1995) Project Manager / Architect Alex Lida, with the collaboration of the local law firm BAAQ.
“The construction looks directly at the Pacific Ocean, sharing 550 meters of coastline with only the impressive beach. I have created a concrete wall 312 meters long by 3.6 meters high with that generous expanse of land. This wall creates a horizontal separation between public programs on the north and private sections on the south side. The rich red and orange sunset reflects off the concrete surface. This is a very unique project, where I used various unusual materials, allowing me to create architecture and spaces that cannot be created anywhere else.“
