项目 - 丛林健身房展现了一种突破性的建筑设计方法，将现代建筑与原始热带环境完美融合。这座位于圣何塞郊区的134平方米建筑，展示了VOID建筑事务所对环境友好型设计的创新理念，将建筑转化为与自然景观和谐共生的漂浮平台。

项目由两个主要水平面构成：一个似乎悬浮于地面之上的底板，最大限度地减少了对地形的影响；另一个则是遮阳顶板，为功能空间提供必要的庇护，同时巧妙地框定周围景观。建筑采用极简主义美学，通过战略性地运用自然采光和通风，创造出明亮通透的空间体验。大面积开窗不仅增强了室内外的视觉联系，还显著降低了对人工照明和机械通风的依赖。

该项目最显著的成就在于其对热带环境的精准响应和对可持续设计的深度实践。通过采用当地材料和建造技术，建筑展现出对场地环境的高度敏感性。整体设计强调与自然的真实连接，使建筑成为促进身心健康的理想场所，树立了热带气候下可持续建筑设计的新标准。

团队 - VOID建筑事务所成立于2012年，由建筑师Sergio Frugone、Felipe Rossi和Ricardo Sevilla携手创立，是一家极具创新精神的国际建筑设计机构。事务所以其独特的"虚空设计理念"著称，摒弃了传统的形式主义方法，而是通过深思熟虑的设计过程，将形式与功能融为一体，从虚空中雕刻出建筑空间。

事务所的组织架构建立在三大支柱之上：体验、性能和执行，这些元素以客户为中心相互交织。在创始合伙人的带领下，VOID培养了强大的跨学科合作文化，每位合伙人都在各自的专业领域建立了深厚的专业背景。Sergio Frugone担任体验实践总监，在总体规划、博物馆和酒店设计方面拥有丰富经验；Felipe Rossi领导性能实践部门，专注于大型复杂项目的开发；Ricardo Sevilla作为执行实践总监，为项目实施提供关键技术支持。

VOID的项目组合涵盖了各类建筑类型，从私人住宅到公共建筑。事务所致力于每年开展一到两个公益项目，展现了其对社会责任的承诺。他们的作品因其创新性和可持续性而备受认可，获得多项国际大奖，包括2024年中美洲最佳国际商业建筑事务所奖等重要荣誉。

Project - Jungle Gym represents a groundbreaking architectural approach that seamlessly merges modern design with pristine tropical surroundings. Located in suburban San José, this 134-square-meter structure showcases VOID's innovative eco-conscious design philosophy, transforming architecture into a floating platform that coexists harmoniously with the natural landscape.

The project is composed of two primary horizontal planes: a base that appears to hover above the ground, minimizing site impact, and a shading canopy that provides essential shelter while artfully framing the surrounding landscape. The building employs minimalist aesthetics while strategically utilizing natural light and ventilation to create bright, permeable spaces. Large apertures not only enhance visual connections between interior and exterior but significantly reduce reliance on artificial lighting and mechanical ventilation.

The project's most remarkable achievement lies in its precise response to the tropical environment and deep commitment to sustainable design principles. Through the thoughtful application of local materials and construction techniques, the architecture demonstrates exceptional site sensitivity. The overall design emphasizes authentic connections with nature, transforming the building into an ideal sanctuary for physical and spiritual well-being, setting new standards for sustainable architectural design in tropical climates.

Design Team - VOID, established in 2012 by architects Sergio Frugone, Felipe Rossi, and Ricardo Sevilla, is an innovative international architectural practice. The firm is distinguished by its unique "void design philosophy," which moves away from traditional formalist approaches, instead sculpting architectural space from the void through a thoughtful process that integrates form and function.

The practice is structured around three pillars: Experience, Performance, and Execution, all converging with the client at their center. Under the leadership of its founding partners, VOID has cultivated a strong culture of multidisciplinary collaboration, with each partner bringing deep expertise in their respective areas. Sergio Frugone serves as Director of Experience Practice, with extensive experience in master planning, museums, and hospitality design; Felipe Rossi leads the Performance Practice, focusing on large-scale complex project development; and Ricardo Sevilla, as Director of Execution Practice, provides critical technical expertise for project implementation.

VOID's portfolio encompasses a diverse range of architectural typologies, from private residences to public buildings. The firm commits to undertaking one to two pro bono projects annually, demonstrating their dedication to social responsibility. Their work has been widely recognized for its innovation and sustainability, earning numerous international accolades, including the 2024 International Commercial Architecture Firm of Central America award among other significant honors.
