Opium might be right…
Dealing with the client in Spain is quite hard, so I can understand some decisions…

Yeah, the soft light reflecting off the polished concrete, glass and wood panels is a sublime effect. Shame about that awful ceiling. There is some lovely detailing in this building, it’s hard to understand why on earth they would compromise it with such a thing.

yes agree with the terible use of the old fasion ceiling and the floor radiators……why not use the suspended ceiling and have a central air-conditioning system with hot air as well? yes, i agree the building interior looks already 70’s.

Completely agree on the ceiling and radiators…
I wouldn’t like to see this building in 10 years. I’m afraid it’s not going to get old in a good way. In some sense it already looks old to me.

Nice exterior facade, great configuration of wooden elements. Interiors are a bit of a disaster, the ceiling design and position of the radiators are terrible!
