架构师提供的文本描述。新托尔奥尔莫位于历史悠久的夏拉帕区的东南5公里，联邦140号高速公路的南面，就在阿科苏尔公路立交桥的旁边。该场地具有较强的地形坡度，最高层为街道以上7米。

Text description provided by the architects. The new Torre Olmo is located 5km south east of the historic district of Xalapa, and south of federal highway 140, just next to the highway overpass Arco Sur. The site has a strong topographic slope, with the highest level being 7m above the street level.

该项目由一个8层的办公大楼、一个立方体和一个商业中心组成，一个水平停车场补充了这一构成，在立方体形状的办公大楼下，一个商业空间面向街道。

The project is comprised of an 8 floors office building in the shape of a cube plus a business center, an horizontal parking lot complements the composition, and under the cube shaped office building a commercial space faces the street.

在建筑物的西侧是一个连接大厅的楼梯，一个坡道提供了到达同一大厅的另一条路。大堂和商务中心位于商业空间的上方。这层楼层提供不同的服务，如前台、礼堂和会议室等便利设施。办公楼层是完全灵活的，因此他们可以容纳各种各样的布局，有一个中央核心，电梯，楼梯和浴室在那里。屋顶是一个半私人的露台，有令人惊叹的城市景观。

On the west side of the building is a stairway that connects to the lobby, a ramp offers an alternate way of arriv - ing to the same lobby. The lobby and the business center are located above the commercial space. This floor level offers different services as a front desk, an auditorium and meeting rooms among others amenities. The office floors are completely flexible so they can accommodate a wide variety of layouts, there is a central core where elevators, stairs and bathrooms are located. The rooftop is a semi private terrace with amazing views of the city.

该办公大楼立方体有一个多层立面，内部全高度的窗户层和第二层设计的三角形面板由多孔金属板，这一外层是一个太阳能屏幕，保护内部不受阳光暴晒过多热量的影响，这有助于减少能源的使用，并提供一个更舒适的自然照明办公空间。两层立面之间的空间是一个连续阳台，可以从内部进入，这样可以安全地游览景观。

The office building cube has a multilayered facade, with an inner full-height windows layer and a second layer designed with triangular panels made of multi-perforated metal sheet, this outer layer is a solar screen that protects the interior from excessive heat gain from sunlight exposure which helps reduce energy use and provides a more comfortable natural illumination for the office space. The space in-between the two facade layers is a continuos balcony accessible from the inside that allows for a safe sightseeing of the landscape.

外立面层的设计使办公建筑具有鲜明的特色。从远处和白天，它被认为是一个坚实的金属三角立方体。纹理的实现只有两个不同的三维面板和所有可能的配置允许的几何面板。到了晚上，由于金属片的微小穿孔，建筑物的表皮变得透明，把建筑物变成了城市夜光灯。

The design of the outer facade layer gives the office building a distinctive character. From a distance and during the day it is perceived as a solid metallic triangulated cube. The texture is achieved with only two different 3D panels and all the possible configurations allowed by the geometry of the panels. By night the skin of the building becomes transparent due to the tiny perforations of the metal sheet, transforming the building into an urban night lamp.
