Hercules Towers

Cádiz, Spain

STATUS
Built
YEAR
2009
SIZE
10,000 sqft - 25,000 sqft
At a height of 126 meters, the “Torres de Hercules” rise up from the Bay of Algeciras (Cádiz), as a new benchmark in the Campo de Gibraltar and the transition of the Straight, as their uniqueness changes the area’s landscape.

The new construction, which is surrounded by a man-made lake, is comprised of two identical 20-storey cylindrical towers, joined by a crystalline prism which houses the hallways connecting the two buildings.

Its outer appearance is configured by the structure of the building, a gigantic lattice which completely surrounds the perimeter. They contain the giant letters of the legend “Non Plus Ultra”. Their job is to protect the inside of the building from excess solar radiation while providing panoramic views of the Bay of Algeciras, the Rock of Gibraltar, and the range of mountains. Most of the space will be used for offices, although there will also be commercial space and services.
