The architectural integration is reinforced by the arrangement of the buildings in an “L” shape, which connects with the surrounding roads and the headquarters building. The volumetric composition is designed to create a distinct and striking identity, with interdependent volumes that generate a dynamic and cohesive visual interplay. The façades play a fundamental role in this ensemble, featuring a sculptural aesthetic that forms a rich geometric composition interconnecting the different volumes.

Our proposal aims to enhance the urban environment by harmoniously integrating the new with the existing. The relationship between the project and the city is fundamental, with volumes emerging from the urban fabric, continuing its rhythm and scale. The project consists of two independent sets with similar identities that merge into a single development, respecting and dialoguing with the existing structures.

The façade, a key element of this project, stands out for its construction simplicity and visual complexity. Inspired by the lightning bolt symbol, representing the energy and dynamism of the company EDEL, the façade transforms into a functional shading system and an architectural piece of art. This design gesture brings movement and energy to the buildings, reflecting the company’s innovative and growing spirit.
