Urbanism
The spatial structure balances built and open spaces to ensure connectivity and environmental quality.
Mobility
Vehicular circuits, bicycle paths, and aerobic trails promote efficient, sustainable mobility throughout the project.
Landscape
The urban design integrates the preserved natural geomorphology, including streams, basins, and native vegetation.
Spaces
Recreational areas include an ecological park, a clubhouse, a tennis club, and children's play areas in natural creeks.
Sustainability
Water retention areas and mitigation strategies minimize environmental impact and safeguard local ecosystems.
Identity
The project is structured around the concept of urban oases, which rescue the essence of Mendoza's landscape at different scales.

URBAN CONNECTIVITY
The project establishes an intermediate space between the city and the foothills that incorporates equipment and services accessible to all.
The access threshold facilitates a seamless transition, reinforcing the complex's identity and integration with its surroundings.

ENVIRONMENTAL INNOVATION
The design respects the natural morphology to ensure sustainable land use and water management.
Green areas with native vegetation strengthen the landscape's identity while minimizing the development's ecological impact.


Valle de Palmares redefines community by integrating living spaces, services, and nature into a safe, sustainable environment.
This development responds to Mendoza's urban growth while maintaining the ecological balance of the foothills.
