Plaça Europa, 31 office building (RCR)

The office building in Plaça Europa designed by 2017 Pritzker Prize winners, RCR Arquitectes, is an outstanding example of contemporary aesthetics, functionality and sustainability.

The Catalan architecture practice designed a four-storey, 10-metre-high block that contrasts with the height of the surrounding buildings.

The architects used a combination of materials, such as glass, steel and concrete, which are characteristic of their projects and contribute to creating an ultramodern appearance. The building consists of a repeated sequence of metal ribs that form a stepped façade. The panes of glass are set between the ribs creating an interplay of light and shadow that changes throughout the day, giving the building a visually captivating presence and favouring energy efficiency.

The interior of the building has been designed with function and the comfort of the workforce in mind.
