Appreciation towards Taller KEN for providing the following description:

这个不透明的立方体建筑位于危地马拉最繁忙的高速路上，建筑高15米。中性的外立面镶嵌汽车作为醒目的标志，当司机快速通过或拥挤在交通中时，建筑诙谐有趣的外立面都可以让人会心一笑。相比之下，内部的颜色纹理极具层次感，暴露在外的结构骨架看上去像广告牌的背面。整个内部空间像坐落于繁忙公路边的绿洲。中央区域依靠天窗采光。雨水收集在巨大蓝色水槽用来浇灌热带植被。

This opaque cube rises 15 meters high above one of the most heavily trafficked highways in Guatemala City. The neutral exterior is studded with cars which acts a kind of roadside icon, putting a smile on the faces of drivers as they quickly pass or eternally idle in a traffic jam. By contrast, the interior is layered with textures and colors, playing against the rigidity of the exposed structural skeleton- much like seeing the backside of a billboard. This oasis in the middle of the roadside functions much like a greenhouse. The central space is illuminated by sawtooth skylights, complimented by passive cooling. Rainwater from the roof is collected in giant blue tanks and used to maintain the tropical planting.
