The Mountain Botanical Garden, located in the Alexandre Aibéo Park, brings together a vast diversity of species, which can be appreciated through the pedestrian paths created during this landscape intervention.

The landscaping and architectural arrangement also provided for the creation of a support infrastructure with reception, restrooms, bar and panoramic terrace. The Publicity Center Building is a construction with a reinforced concrete structure with a semi-buried basement, a ground floor and roof. The basement ceiling, which occupies roughly half of the building's implantation area, is materialized by a reinforced concrete slab supported by peripheral retaining walls and a beam. Following the ground floor there is a wooden terrace with a deck supported by wooden beams. The deck support beams, in turn, are supported by a steel angle fixed to the building's reinforced concrete wall and by a wooden frame structure, which peripherally surrounds the floor. The roof structure consists of reinforced concrete slabs.

The intervention also included the construction of a reinforced exposed concrete tank, various works regarding the execution of ground floors, stairs molded over the terrain, gutters and small drainage ditches and the entrance gate.
