주변 생태환경을 복원, 존중하는 지속 가능한 건축의 연장선상에서 알칸타라 중수재활용시설의 현대화 사업은 건축과 랜드스케이프의 통합에 의한 인프라시설 구축을 이룬다. 주변 자연환경에서 연장된 건축환경은 시설물을 뒤덮는 생태지붕으로 인공적인 건축물을 자연 속에 숨긴다.

In this project, the different programs overlap: the plant is covered with a “thick habitable roof” which houses the facilities, corridors and other services. In a territorial scale, the green roof extends the natural hills of Alcantara Valley, reducing the damage the road infrastructures cause to the area.
Within the roof the building integrates itself. By shaping the topography, habitability conditions are generated. The administrative areas are defined by a limiting wall, a glass plane and scattered volumes with secondary functions; those elements separate the internal corridors from the workspaces.
