Explore the Piramide Transamerica

The architect William Pereira designed an overwhelming building, thanks to the pyramidal shape of its beautiful facade, although very stylized to be able to fulfill its function, taking advantage of the space in height, but in a responsible manner. The beautiful building, of true visual spectacle and permanent strength, is splendid thanks to a superstructure.
