BBVA

The project for the new BBVA bank headquarters is the construction of a large corporate complex consisting of several three-story buildings above ground level and a high-rise building of almost 100 meters.

The low buildings are three-story buildings above ground level which extend over the entire plot adapting topographically to the terrain. The complex is connected through a large square from which the high-rise building is born. This building has 19 floors and a curved silhouette.

The main use of the buildings is as offices, although there are also first floor restaurant areas, an auditorium and a press room. Between each office building, there are numerous areas with vegetation and irrigation ditches that are used as meeting and recreational spaces.

The materiality of the building is based on concrete and glass, although the presence of the louvers, which protect the office buildings from solar radiation, plays a major role in its external image.

The building was built maintaining part of the structure of several existing buildings on which the new program was adapted by demolishing the previous structure and building new connecting structures between the different volumes.

• The offices are articulated between water and vegetation courtyards.
• The candle stands atop the building as a reflection of the inner square
• The perimeter lattice formally shapes the building while filtering solar radiation.
