Oto arquitectos was tasked to design an office for the nature park management on Fogo Island, Cape Verde, in the crater of a volcano.
The spacious gray building has a unique structure that allows it to blend naturally into the surrounding. It was built into the ground, with ramps leading to the offices.
There are two zones in the building—the cultural zone and the administrative zone. The cultural zone is used as a recreational area, while the administrative zone is used for more formal events.
Additionally, the building is solar-powered and water collected on the roof is stored daily for future use.
