A Forest Rises in São Paulo — Vertically
aflalo/gasperini arquitetos
Designed by aflalo/gasperini arquitetos, this 16-story tower redefines the relationship between architecture and nature with spiral green terraces, urban permeability, and high environmental performance.
In a city where concrete and speed set the tone, Salma Tower arrives as a living contradiction. Yes, it’s a Triple-A corporate tower. But it’s also a suspended ecosystem where fruit trees, birdsongs, and forest breezes flow through boardrooms, cafés, and workstations.
With LEED Platinum certification and 1,200 sqm of native Atlantic Forest embedded across 16 floors, Salma Tower redefines what a workplace can be. This isn’t about bringing plants indoors. It’s about turning the office into a forest.
More than a smart building, it’s a vertical biofilic manifest — arguably the boldest in the Southern Hemisphere. It's a place where productivity meets nature’s tempo, and where the skyline grows new roots.
Why does Salma Tower matter?
- It is one of the five most sustainable Triple-A buildings in the world.
- It represents the largest integration between native forest and urban architecture in Brazil, bringing real nature into the city.
- It stands as a symbol of new corporate architecture—centered on mental health, sensory experiences, and green innovation.
- It holds the potential to become a global benchmark in corporate biophilic design, attracting companies and talent that value more human-centered environments.
Concept: Corporate biophilia, well-being, and reconnection with nature in the workplace
Purpose: To establish a new model of urban workspace focused on quality of life, productivity, and environmental regeneration.
