Proposal submitted to a design competition for an office building in the “Miramón technology park”, carried out in collaboration with Iñigo Peñalba and Aritz Díez Oronoz.
The search for a solution that would allow optimal use of the resulting surfaces and high spatial and architectural quality led us to present a proposal arranging the distribution of the building's uses around a covered patio that ordered and combined the different activities – production, interaction and rest – and contained the general circulation routes – corridors, stairs and a lift – visually and spatially intercommunicating all the floors of the building.
The patio thus became the generating idea, the fulcrum point on which the project proposal pivoted.
The exterior appearance involved a rounded prism, without corners, adapted to the shape of the plot and neighbouring buildings, through an abstract envelope – a curtain wall – with a uniform rhythm and modulation, with the emphasis on the vertical.
The resulting volume rested on a concrete plinth, with the skin of glass that defined its façades "floating" above it, giving the ensemble a great formal lightness.
