Description
LP11 is a small commercial center of 270 m² located in Los Pinos, Pérez Zeledón, designed in 2025 as a contemporary proposal focused on optimizing land use while maximizing the building’s commercial flexibility. The project is organized into two clearly differentiated levels: a ground floor dedicated to warehouse-style or service-oriented commercial spaces, and an upper level designed for more open and visible retail areas. The architecture is defined by a clear horizontal volume where the upper level appears to float above the more solid base of the building. This composition creates shade, protects entrances, and strengthens the project's identity within its urban context. The material palette combines metal panels, dark structural elements, and light surfaces to create a contemporary, restrained, and functional expression. Overall, LP11 proposes an efficient and flexible commercial architecture designed to accommodate different types of businesses while maintaining a strong and organized architectural presence.

Details
Concept
LP11 emerges as a compact commercial architecture designed to optimize land use while offering flexible spaces for different types of businesses. The proposal combines functionality, structural clarity, and a restrained contemporary image.
Program organization
The project is organized into two distinct commercial levels. The ground floor is designed for warehouse-style or service-oriented businesses, while the upper level accommodates retail units with greater visibility and openness.
Architectural language
The architecture is built through a clear composition of horizontal volumes. The upper level creates a strong gesture that appears to float above the base, providing shade and reinforcing the building’s identity within its urban surroundings.
Materiality
The material palette combines metal panels, light surfaces, and dark structural elements that create a contemporary and functional expression. This selection allows the building to feel solid, modern, and suitable for intensive commercial use.
Strategies
- Clear separation between commercial spaces and warehouse units
- Upper volume creating shade and climatic protection
- Modular structure adaptable to different business types
- Durable materials for intensive commercial use
- Contemporary image reinforcing the building’s identity
