Torre Europa Glass Box
Located at the heart of Madrid's business district, the 120-meter high Torre Europa is one of the most emblematic and tallest buildings in Madrid's skyline. Glass plays a major part in the new look for this iconic building. The open and transparent new entrance hall, designed by CallisonRTKL, has been built using the very latest glass construction techniques.
The glass panes that form the façade on two sides, measuring 10 meters high and 3 meters wide, stand on the ground floor slab and are stabilized by vertical glass fins. The connection between the façade panes and the fins is resolved with laminated titanium inserts.

Torre Iberdrola
The Iberdrola Tower, located in the center of Bilbao, rises 165 meters in height in the form of an elongated triangle. One of the defining features of the tower is the imposing lobby, entirely enclosed by a sculptural glass pavilion constructed by Bellapart.
The structural support of the lobby facade is composed of vertical glass wings 15m tall and 0.5 meters deep, spaced at a distance of 1 meter along the wall of the facade. The top part is a 5-meter-long cantilever on top of a line of the roof.
