Palmanova Center: A new urban model for Asunción
Jasper Architects reveals plans for the Palmanova Center in Asunción, ParaguayA 200,000 square meter mixing use development is scheduled to begin building in October. The project rises along the Avenida Primer Presidle and integrates ResideCommercial and Office Rooms into a dense vertical composition that rises from a public, created valley.
The Palmanova Center organizes as a prototype for high-ranking life in the Paraguayan capital and organizes four Towers above a five -story base. The base is cut through a sequence of terraces, shaded sidewalks and gardens that are inspired by the region's Cañadas – natural gorges that shape local ecosystems.

Jasper Architects integrate community and landscape
The Scheme of the Palmanova Center by Jasper Architects emphasizes the connections between people, their neighbors and the natural environment of Asunción. The Design team Plan a pedestrian path to thread the center of the site and connect the retail, cafés, a supermarket and wellness facilities. Bridges will extend over planted areas and create increased intersections between buildings and at the same time maintain the open visual lines at ground level.
Two of the towers house offices in 36 and 33 floors, whereby adaptable floor slabs are suitable for different tenant needs. The other two, in 40 and 37 floors, will contain more than two hundred residential units that range from compact one-sleeping rooms to expansive penthouses. The roofs are designed as common leisure rooms with botanical gardens, infinity pools and panorama consideration platforms.

Orientation and environmental output
The offset forms of Palmanova Towers from Jasper architects are aligned in such a way that they pass daylight and Breezes and at the same time receive insignificant views of Asunción via the location. This positioning also enables natural light to penetrate into the lower levels of the complex, including the pedestrian valley. The Palmanova Center will be among the highest structures in the city at 180 meters (590 feet)
Building envelopes combine high-performance double glazing with aluminum composite panels that can reflect 40% of the solar radiation. Shadow balconies and green terraces are part of a wider passive design strategy that improve thermal comfort and biological diversity.
The development is aimed at Leed certification and includes water recycling systems, rainwater management and generation of renewable energy. Landscape areas extend from the street level to the top terraces and contribute to Asunción's urban green.
