Text description provided by the architects. The building is located on the outskirts of the city - at the far end of the urban extension of Bilbao’s Miribilla district. One side fronts the terraced land, the countryside, the mountains and the access road to the city. The other side faces adjacent residential blocks and the park in the south. The design plays with volume and scale such that it links with its immediate surroundings and the distant scenery. Thus, the nearly blind facade facing the highway becomes a perforated form in its contact with the houses, or with the large vertical voids that allow light to enter the office area.
