Based on the initial program arises a compact building with a prismatic form,
which maintains alignments in the Isabel la
Católica and Moratín streets, but
it sets back four meters in Foglietti street. This
setback provides higher quality
and scale to the main acces and at the same time can also bring strength and
distinction
to the building, conditions that the building needs because of the
poor urban quality of the site. Through
this operation we provide something
very important to the urban environment, we bring
empty space, air and
swelling of the built fabric, conditions that
provide new environmental values
to the zone.
The building enriches its interior by
three cross patios, varying in length in
different plants and openning to the facades at
different points, they get to
bring together a variety of environmental situations
to provide high quality to
the building spaces and offices, in addition to
organizing the program.
The basic
criterion for the distribution of the building has risen from the
functional
needs of the users, the general public and officials.
