In collaboration with Antonio Hernández Gálvez, Arquitecto 10.126 COAM
The act of unifying two buildings with distinct characteristics into a single entity is envisioned, creating a new reality that stands out with clarity and coherence. The building takes on the challenge of establishing itself on the historic Paseo de la Castellana with dignity and restraint, adopting a recognizable and timeless architectural language aimed at preserving and enriching the avenue’s valuable architectural legacy. Meanwhile, the creation of the new street connecting Joaquín Costa with Carbonero y Sol gives rise to a building that must inherently address two different scales and orientations. Both façades express this unified vision through similar regulating lines, while offering a nuanced and precise response to their orientation and the unique character of the street they face.
Two solutions for a new, unique and cohesive reality: Two faces of the same facade.
