LA 100
Can a mixed-use complex be both contemporary and contextual?
La 100, CAZA’s inaugural project in Colombia, demonstrates how a contemporary urban development can remain deeply connected to its cultural and ecological context. Designed as a multi-modal mixed-use complex, La 100 combines modularplanning and metabolic architecture to create an adaptable, energy-efficient, and resilient hub for Bogotá’s fast-changing urban fabric.

We consider each project on its own terms and develop tailored responses. Learn about our vision and mission.
Situated at the crossroads of 100th Street and 7th Avenue—directly across from the city’s main financial center—La 100 integrates high-end offices, hotels, and residences in a dense, pedestrian-friendly environment. Its design is rooted in local tradition, with each tower clad in a unique, vibrantly pigmented façade, echoing Colombia’s history of richly colored brick construction.
The buildings are organized into a flexible, modular system that incorporates terraces on the mountainside façades, offering panoramic views of Bogotá’s surrounding landscape. Interwoven between the towers, a series of public parks and landscaped areas create distributive networks of green space, which not only encourage social interaction but also contribute to the site’s microclimatic resiliency.
Our approach is strategically driven and informed. Click here to learn about our process.
By combining innovative parametric design with eco-industrialization strategies—such as optimized energy flows and shared infrastructure—La 100 is more than a cluster of buildings: it is a sustainable, forward-looking model of urban density that remains rooted in place and culture.
