The goal for Castellana 77 is to increase its value by creating a new, recognizable,
flexible and sustainable property that generates a high-quality space and whose new
image will become part of Madrid’s skyline – a city that respects its roots while looking to
the future.
The identity of this emblematic building is emphasized with its surprising “new skin”,
set to become a design reference.
The architect´s proposal for the façade, with its distinctive and unique elements that
penetrate the building´s surface, is not only visually striking but also energy efficient
and sustainable, as it incorporates slats that serve as protection from direct sunlight.
For this reason, each slat has a different orientation and consequently, each façade a
unique appearance.
The envelope, envisaged as low emission glass skin with solar control, is the result of
thorough research into sunlight and shade on the west, east and south façades at critical
hours every day of the year.
Apart from substantial energy savings, this energy efficient envelope provides greater level
of comfort and optimal well-being for users.
